ahoi,
funny, just an hour ago I've changed my Leaderfins footpocket and now I see your post
short answer at the end
I bought pathos foot pockets on
https://www.scubastore.com/scuba-diving/fins-spare-parts/19/s (in spain, but ok shipping price) with some 5% voucher code.
Many people recommended the pathos foot pocket, because stability, force transmission, light weight, so I bought a pair. After order and view days I realize that the pathos foot pocket must glued to the fins (to late to cancel - fu...). So I checked some
you tube tutorials and also realized, that the side rail from leader fins must be cut a bit for the operation. I'm not amused, but I give that no turning back solution a try. If it's don't work, I train more no fins
So today starts, first I put on the foot pockets start my wifes
high performance hairdryer and burn my feets a bit. But now the pockets like west coast customs second skin pockets (and give every side a name). Then I cut off the rails (all sides the same length) use a bit sandpaper and need 3 or 4 plaster (cuter are dangerous) and it's work. The last part is the hardest and really dangerous - the glueing! I used a
paddex superglue (cyanoacrylate adhesive). I hate that stuff, my fingers glued everywhere. After that torture I finally finished and I hope that solutions work well.
Short: Pathos footpockets work with leader fins but must glued, mares footpocket works (my teammate says) but I don't know more, the cressi gara modular (don't know fits or not), but they tell me is shit because often broken.
Wish you success with you search and let me know how you do it.
so long
ps: pathos size measurements:
36-38 – 232mm x 94mm
38-40 – 242mm x 96mm
40-42 – 255mm x 98mm
42-44 – 265mm x 100mm
44-46 – 280mm x 100mm
46-48 – 290mm x 103mm
48-50 – 300mm x 105mm
pps. here the result, not a price winner but works (oh by the way, because the bad rocks and walls I put a
foil on the carbon/fiber blades, works great, looks like magnesium Adamantium metal blades)
