Hello,

I have some Omer Ice fins, which are great unfortunately they are bruising the outside of my left foot, the point of bone just behind my little toe.

I don't think they are too tight as my foot can move within the pocket a little bit. I use 3mm socks with them.

I wonder if the foot pocket is too narrow. Are any pockets known to be wider than the Omer Millenium ones?

Can anyone tell me where would be a good place to buy one, not a pair my right foot is fine! Obviously it would have to fit the Ice blades.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
 
Thanks, I've looked around and they seem to be the only ones who sell them singularly.

They have Beauchat Mudial, C4 Spetton, and Sporasub.

Are any of these known to be wider than others? Will they all fit my Ice blades?
 
Magpie, I recall reading a post here about using a combination of a shoe-stretcher and a hair-drier to adjust the fit of a footpocket.

You should be able to find it by using the forum search function.
