long fins hurt your ankles? any long fins? which ones did you try?, the ones who hurt my ankles were wither too stiff or didnt have a toe angle (i.e. flat blades not angled blades)...i suggest you try some classic fins like the omer ice, they are very comfy fins, very nice for surface swimming and depth up to 20m...definitly better then scuba fins like the appolos, where you loose a lot of energy with them
