Footpockets for specialfins???

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I'm after some footpockets that would fit my specialfins, I previously had some sporasubs, bit found that as I had to adjust them to fit, they didn't hold on properly at all and ended up using duct tape to hold them on. I'd like to know what anyone thinks about using omer footpockets, and also will they fit straight off and most of all can you use them without glueing them as I have two sets of fin blades which I like to swap on occasion, but obviously that's not possible if they're glued. Any advice or input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gabe,
The specs on specialFins blades is for the Omer footpockets. I have never had a problem with mine in the Omer pockets, and I know several other divers with the same combination that have also had none. There should be no need for glue at all.

I'm surprised that you had problems with the Dessault/Sporasub pockets. I have used them with the same blades, and have not had any problems, except when I walked up a very rocky beach with them on.
