Monofin Footpockets Question

[sneakinglynx]

Hello everyone , I recently got my new waterway monofin size 290mm/43-44 , it fits well when barefooted , however when i tried to put it on with 2mm neoprene socks it was almost impossible. The foot pockets come with some neoprene on the upper part but I don't know if that will be enough to prevent chafing , what are your suggestions ? thank you for your help.

If they're tight enough, then You'll be fine without socks. The only problem that could come with increasing depth is compression of the footpockets on some models. What type did You get?

Thank you for replying and for your help. The model that I got was waterway Monofin #1 , middle stiffness ( Performance Freediving ). When I put it on barefooted it was tight but not very uncomfortable.

I'm guessing that's a Model 1, with the square footpockets then. Those don't compress, and they don't chafe either. Use some Silicone grease to lube them and they'll be just fine.
