hello everyone, need help choosing a foot pocket to come with my new c90 fins i am ordering, i can either get them with omer stingray, picasso power, beuchat mundial foot pockets, i am currently 63kg, including spearfishing gear and weights around 69kg, my foot is a size 9/10 us in different brand shoes, its a pretty average shaped foot not to wide nor long. im guessing my best bet on c90 blades is a soft blade? along with a soft pocket? which do you guys think? i am currently surface swimming and diving anywhere between 3 meters to 15 meters. any help would be gratefully appreciated.
 
you will find soft foot pockets work best with soft blades, due to both the side tendons and the compound of the foot pocket itself

A long earlier thread came to the conclusion that the Beuchat footpockets of that time were/are particularly well suited to long, narrow feet. Well, my feet are the exact opposite of that yet I found the Beuchat foot pockets suited me very well too. So, based on the rather small anecdote, it seems like the Beuchat footpockets might suit a lot of people quite well - and, at the time, the were one of the cheaper options too.

Omer foot pockets were well regarded at the time too. Personally, I find it hard to get excited by Picasso gear (except perhaps their spears) but that's just me.
