fitted fins

[jtkwest]

does anyone know of anyone making fitted fins ? either from molds or left and right seperate. i see the sporasub fins. looks interesting but not too durable possibly. i was thinking more along the line of more exact sizing with left and right sides, possibly even from a mold or something? i am getting blisters on my toes, i have had a few different fins so far and they all rub,(cressi 2000 hf, omer millenium, and now cressi professional) i try to wear sox but they rub too. anyone got any ideas?

C4 Mustangs. And the Sporasub Revolutions look pretty durable, and are certainly more comfortable than anything else I tried.

are the revolutions actually a seperate shoe that straps on? or all one piece? looks like a shoe that velcro attaches with straps? that doesnt sound too good. maybe i am missing it. do the c4's come custom fitted? or left and right sides or both. BTW : thanks for responding

I have a set of the Mustangs and they come with a left and right foot. They are simply the most comfortable fins I've ever owned. They also lace up the top, just like a shoe, and you can tighten them up to different levels for different thicknesses of socks. I snug them up to wear with my 3mm socks and take the laces out all together when i wear a 5-6mm sock.

Radicals look very interesting and I can hardly wait to try out a pair next month.

Only other custom footpockets i know of are on my monofin (Trition). I know it doesn't help you for spearfishing, but for a monofin they take a full page worth of measurements to customize the footpockets to your feet. I imagine that Max could do the same for a pair of openheel bi-fins.

Try the above link.
Breier sur scubaland.fr and this one shows the blades they do.
Pathos - Πέλμα Fireblade για Πτερύγια --- diveshop.gr these are also very comfortable pockets, but as the side rails are soft, they work best with blades designed for them, like these XXone - Λεπίδες ANAX για Πέλμα Pathos --- diveshop.gr or these Majestic - Λεπίδες Ανθρακονημάτων για Πέλμα Pathos --- diveshop.gr
Hope this helps but if not, well it's a bit of freediving porn anyway.rofl

Before doing wild assumptions, why don't you look at the manufacturer's website? The velcro strap serves for tightening the shoes. Shoes are in one piece together with the bottom support where the bldes is fixed with four screws. You can see it rather well on the photos:

Same goes for C4 - simply check them out at the manufacturer, that will tell you most of what you need:
