closest thing to Cressi footpockets?

[Mr. X]

Hi Nata, can you confirm that C4 make blades specifically for Beuchat footpockets (as well as for Omer footpockets)?

BTW Just to muddy the waters, I have wide (UK D-width I think) feet and use Beuchat footpockets and find them comfortable. I use them with neoprene socks in winter & bare foot in the summer (& in the pool), upto 3 or 4 hours at a time -- so I would think a pretty good fit.

They don't

[Nata]

I'm sorry, we don't do that.

That's a false news.

Yes, sorry, that was me who posted the false news. To my excuse, I got the information from the French dealer of C4.

But anyway, Nata, if you cannot ship blades for Beuchat footpockets, I guess it should be possible that you ship them without any holes at all. We could then drill holes as we need. Can you do that?

Also, can you tell us if you sell the new rubber rails separately, and what they cost? I did not find them at any reseller.

The old (straight) and the new (parabolic) C4 rails are sold as a spare part, at least in Italy. Around EUR5 per piece(!), if I remember correctly.

Cheers, ulysses

Does anybody know where I can find a stockist of Beauchat footpockets in the UK?

Scubastore will mail them if that's any help. Check the price of a pair of Beauchat fins first. I don't think the plastic ones cost very much more than two footpockets + one fixing Kit, and you'll have a spare pair of plastic blades.
Blades other than Beauchat do need some alteration to the side rails to make them fit Beauchat footpockets and the placing of the screw holes is different on Beauchat to that on Omer and Sporasub.
