Fins for little feet?

[alfiebrown]

Hi,

I want a pair of bi fins but I have rather small feet - Size 36/37 and so far have found it difficult to get any. Most brands seem to start at size 38.

Any suggestions for any fins that come in my size? Reccommendations for brands and models most welcome too! I was considering the Omer Ice....

I remember a pair of fins that come in 36/37, but I cannot remember the brand or model! But do not lose hope, if you search long enough, or if I remember, you will find a pair in those sizes.

I have a pair of Ice fins. Man they look cool! And they're not at all too stiff, just nice. But Omer footpockets are on the big(wide) side. I'm a UK 6 or 6 1/2 and wear the 38/40, and still find them big even with a 3 mil sock! So you might want to consider another pair of fins with with narrower footpockets.

Cheers!

Mares Avanti Excel fins are billed here

http://www.scubamarket.com/index.php?/english/Mares/Masks_and_fins/Freediving_fins/Avanti_Exc

as "freediving fins" and the sizes start at 35-36.

Alternatively, you might consider wearing a larger size version of the freediving fins of your choice over a bootie, secured with fin grips:



I can't offer you more precise advice about modern freediving fins. I do all my snorkelling gently these days with traditional all-rubber fins, like the model below:



Incidentally, they're available in twelve sizes, from US Child 9-11 to Adult 14-16!

Hope you eventually get the fins you are looking for.
