Re: Hybrid Pro blades/Fireblade pockets-reveiw

Trelawney, the footpockets are the most comfortable I've tried. Very light, and soft yet with a sole stiff enough to transfer power properly. They felt secure on my foot at all times. After almost 3 hours of swimming, my feet had only faint pink areas on top. Three hours in the beauchats leaves definate red marks over my insteps though the Beauchats are also comfortable.
I never got on with the Garas, which didn't seem to fit my feet properly and needed fin retainers before I felt they were secure. The Garas also seemed to bend under the power of the HF blades.
Hteas, the rails were fine. The part which came unstuck was the bit of footpocket directly under my toes. I guess this comes under most strain as it directly pulls the blade. I have ordered some loctite 406 to reglue this bit.
