Well, I've got a Leaderfins Hyper too, in a "soft" stifness, and I didn't ever saw that bend on mine.
I'm not tall (1m73 / 68kg), and I don't use the same kick-style when I swim with my monofin : I use to have a low amplitude in the mouvement (comming from my back) and medium frequency in the kicking (with quite straight legs), and so the speed is a little bit faster. (I have to say that I'm not a good finswimmer, and I don't manage very long DYN, as some of you.)
As Trux said, I think that the footpocket bend come from a wrong (?) or too hard kick-style. And the fulcrum seems to be only on the blade, instead of be also on the upper-body (and the arms).
