Confuse choosing Sporasub Spitfire or Omer Stingray

[agushong]

Dear all,

I'm confuse to choose a fins that fit for my foots size.
I've Cressi Gara Modular 40/41 but it's too big for me, I thought the Modular 40/41 is same with Gara 3000 40/41 but it's different. (Modular size is 7-8 and Gara 3000 is 6-7) I like modular foot pockets but it's too big for me. My foots size is 5-6 (38/39)

Now I wanna buy another fins and confuse which one is fit for me.
Omer Stingray 39/40 I've ever try it, but it's foot pockets is too wide for fit my foots, but if I'm using a socks its better. And Stingray foot pockets too heavy for me. My height just 158cm and need a soft blades.

Is Sporasub Spitfire foot pockets 39/40 is same with Gara 3000 sizes? Anyone ever try this fins?
Spitfire blades is soft than Stingray or hardness?

Very need someone to give me a compare about that fins

Thanks a lot,

Agus Hong

You can specify stiffness in fins when ordering. Well in the Carbon fiber fins you can. I'm using the C4 Falcon VGR in a 30 (medium stiffness) but I'm 195.58cm and use a 46/48

I found the OMER/ SporaSub/ C4 and all for that matter tend to be true to size. Thicker socks will help with the extra space. If you use a 3mil normally, try a 5mil or a 7mil. Or try a different type of boot/ bootie/ sock.

Thanks skygear....
Which foot pockets you use for the C4 Falcon VGR?
Did the Spitfire foot pocket may suit for C4 Falcon?

I purchased them with the OMER Millennium foot pocket already installed on them.
The fins - C4 USA
The foot pocket - C4 USA
The spitfire Fin - SPITFIRE FINS, Sporasub Spearfishing and Freediving Equipment

If you look at the OMER vs the Sporasub foot pocket. They are almost identical. The Spitfire foot pocket boasts 2 different materials. If you ever had a chance to Feel one fo the SporaSub Breeze snorkels, I'd imagine it is similar in construction to that. The green is suposed to be 'softer' than the black.

On the bottom of the foot pockets there is a grip area. Omer went with their logo "OMER" repeated a couple times. SporaSub version went with an actual 'Grip" pattern.

Dont be fooled, the geometry is different and the last review of the fins I use has a good show of the gap.
