bifins footpockets are cut at the toes to give a way out for water. If they fill in with water there'll be smaller room for the feet and that'll hurt.
Bit of history: first open toe bifin was the Cressi Rondine in the late 40's, designed by Luigi Ferraro. Our modern rubbers give a better seal so water leaking has become a smaller problem, but go figure in the 40's, with that extra-hard tyre rubber that was the only one available.....
