Alright - I have had several pairs of footpockets over the years - all from Sporasub. I am after two bits of info:
1) has anyone else experienced a massive variance in the rigidity of the rubber between sporasub footpockets? I had a pair of 42-44s that I could hardly get with socks on, and yet I have a pair of 40-42s that I can get into with a 5mm - come on man!
2) What are the essential differences between Omer and Sprasubs footpockets? I know that Omers are generally more rigid rubber, and have the same size brackets. Are they wider, narrower? Longer per size? Bigger in the heel, bigger in the toebox? etc.
I use 40-42 sporasubs with 3mm socks which fit near perfectly although they press down at the bridge of the foot slightly. I also use 42-44s in winter with a 5mm sock and these chaps are a wee bit loose around the ankle and again press on my forefoot slightly.
Does anyone have experience of remoulding fins? Heatguns etc? I don't want to do the old lacing trick. But I would be happy to stretch the forefoot slightly. How about any experience of making them thinner by heat?
