Soo, after a some dives my footpockets (Pathos Fireblade, normal stiffness) looks all dry and worn even though I rinse them thoroughly after each use. I'm thinking I should lube them up with some silicone grease for better longeivity.

Is silicone grease the best medium to use, or are there better solutions?

The tendons and the parts that get the most wear and tear are the most important to lube I presume. This may be a dumb question, but do you guys also lube the inside of the footpocket? I'm thinking it might not be a very good idea if it causes slippage. I always use the fins with socks and as is I don't have to use fin keepers, and I'd like to keep it that way.
 
I am afraid they will slide off. What do you mean by worn out. I don’t seem that problem. Picture?

Hey Kodama,

Not worn out, just worn. The rubber looked all pale and dried. :)

Already lubed them up, didn't do the inside. Now they look like new again! :D
