foot cramps

Anybody else out there have problems with foot cramps?? I've started having a lot of them, even after going to softer fins and getting is better shape. Any solutions? Has anybody tried foot inserts like you might put in your shoes?

Re: foot cramps

Foot cramps appear regularly with me in the pool NOT wearing any fins. Prehaps it's not much a question of your feet being squeezed by your fins?

Re: foot cramps

To me it happens too in the pool, even without fins. I think it has something to do with dehydratation or deficient nutrition (vitamins, minerals).

Re: foot cramps

Just a thought but could it possibly be ur style of swimming and finning, perhaps youre twisting your foot into an awkward position or something.
It could also be a heat factor, perhaps youre not warm enough while in the water. Maybe try a extra mil to your booties or stretch your feet muscles by sitting on a bench and pointing your toes and push your foot down and to the sides before a session.
