Any suggestions for spearo fins for the UK?
I am currently using my 30 year old pair of English made(!) full foot, black, all-rubber fins & they very well around reefs, the pool & shallow bays I have been to so far. The foot pockets are a bit big though (originally planned to get dive boots/socks -- but never did in the end).
I recently picked up some Speedo fins which seemed like a good deal in JJB Sports. They are much longer, slightly wider, full foot, plastic & rubber fins --and at 14.99 GBP they seemed like a good deal (Speedo branded, correct size & came with a decent net bag with shoulder strings & a hanging loop). Have only used 3x. Much stiffer than my other fins.
I saw Cressi Sub Gara 3000 LD Fins mentioned in one forum. Anybody rate these? Are the new & expensive super long fins worthwhile *for spearo*?

Anybody a fan of strapped fins (with or without dive boots)?
