Question Long blade bi-fin sizes for women

Hi there,
I'm trying to find a pair of long blade fins for my wife who is a women's size 8. It seems that most websites don't have sizes that small. Does anyone have any advice or links or ideas of where to shop? I really like the Cressi fins, 2000 & 3000, but can't find them with small enough foot pockets. Of course I would consider any brand if I could at least find them.
Thanks!

Re: Long blade bi-fin sizes for women

Hi,

The following link is the outcome of the exact same question you are asking now. Cressi doesn't offer the 2000 or 3000 in her size. Michelle has a women's size 8 and needed some long blade freediving fins so I supplied her with Imersion Searun fins with the size 38 footpocket. I am out of this size but have more on the way from france right now.

The Spearfishing Store.... - Spearfishing Planet

Let me know if I can help.

Thanks,
Jim

Re: Long blade bi-fin sizes for women

Thanks for your help. I guess a size 38 would probably do. I'm glad her feet aren't any smaller! I see there are a couple of manufacturers that make fin pockets that small. I checked out your sites, but you have no prices listed yet. I'm looking forward to seeing them fully functional! Maybe you could send me a pricelist??? Let me know. Thanks again.

Re: Long blade bi-fin sizes for women

I have been diving since I was 17 and have just started to go down to 16 meters and I can't seem to find long bladed fins anywhere in a 6.5 women's size! The smallest size I found was a Mares brand fin that went to size 7.5. Is there anyone out there who knows of a brand or of somewhere I could get them custom made? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Long blade bi-fin sizes for women

Specialfins makes longfins with delfin type pockets in smae sizes. These type of footpockets come in size 35-37, smallest. The traditional closed heel ones come in 38-40, smallest.

specialfins.com

Here you go. Send them an email though, regarding what you want. That way you get to ask questions about what you want etc.
