Really painfull new fins, need advice

Great but too painfull fins
HI,

I ordered some CRESSI GARA 3000HF fins a few days ago.

Today I took them from the shop and paid them.

My size is 43 and the fins are 44/45, I tried the fins and they are the right size for me with neoprene socks.

But the fins really hurt my feet, my feet are not so narrow, my bole is high and I have broad feet.

The fins are great but the definitely don`t fit my feet, the shape is absolutely not for me.

Tomorrow I will bring them back to the shop.

I am looking for some other fins that wil fit for my feet, anyone can suggest me fins for broad feet with high bole.

What about the OMER BAT 25 Ocean Mimetic, Apnoe Flosse

What about the shape of these fins, are they good for broad feet?

Any other fins that I you can recommend me?

Greetings

gara 3000's are great fins but they do wear a bit big, luckily i wear a size 14 so the largest ones fit great. if i were you i'd stick with them. or... why not trade em in for a size smaller and try out that chinese foot binding, i mean hey they seem pretty on the ball.

best of luck

mafnet,

i sure hope he brought the fins back by now, as this thread is almost a year old.

speaking of fins, perhaps help the collective and add your own foot/sock/fin sizing info to this thread:
