leaderfins hyper pro

[dimitris33]

So after a year with a Nemo waterway have decided to move on to a Hyper Pro. It was proposed by Maksim as most comfortable foot pockets comparable with the simple Hyper I was planning to buy so I took the Pro.

I received it today and tried to wear it at home. I felt like shit and lost my whole muscle power to get in there! I couldnt stand in even 5 mins....

Any tips to stop that pain????

Have read about silicone grease, tennis ball streching with water, thin plastic bags on foot, soaps, etc...

It is very uncomfortable on the heels where the straps pressing hard my bones there (dont know how these called) and not so in the foot pockets.. Have tried to wear it with the half 2mm socks but this is out of question, its impossible!

Please heeeeeeeeelp! I'm going on vacation on Friday and dont want to be a 15teen days of pain!

Why don't you adjust the strap length to suit your foot better. I heard that the easiest way to open the glue seam is by pouring boiling water on it. After you have reset the strap to proper glue you are all set to go.

Never heard that before...ungluing with hot water???

Gluing with what???

I can say that one of my friends recieves his Hyper Pro a few weeks ago and it is extremely comfortable! Try what Dinosaurus said...

Here is my foot... U can see has 26.50cm length..

The length of the inside of the pocket is 24.50cm..

So the heel strap has to stretch about 2cms to get in..

Is this normal??? I really fight to get in there and I'm dissappointed..

And here is the measurement..

I can say that I am very rush guy....

I have saved my upper part of the feet, i put a lot of Dettol soap and....voila!!

It need no stretch or ungluing etc..

Its just perfect!

lubricant helps and if you put a plastic bag around your foot, covered in soap or shampoo conditioner etc. it will be a different fit.

and with the time you will get used to the tight fit and the resulting performance

Anyone knows a good silicone oil or similar stuff to spray my new baby and have it lubricated all the time? Something that will not affect the glued parts of offcourse..

The sun here in Greece and the very hot temperatures surely will damage it in a short time...
