Hi,
I just had to return a pair of Omer Stingray footpockets since they seem as wide as long.
But since I don't want to dump my new blades (compatible to Stingray) I'm wondering, if there are other alternatives with narrower footpockets.
I would highly appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Torsten
 
Spetton pockets are low and narrow. No idea if they will fit your blades though!
 
Thanks ... I thought you might have a bit more specific link about detailed info of the f/p.

I just saw in the forum, that you have/had Spetton f/p. Have you got a closer pic of them? Do you know what angle they have?

I had a pair of Spetton f/ps, and found them very wide but very low across the front of my foot.

Cressi is famous for narrow f/ps, and they either have out or will soon have out new f/ps which allow changing blades. No idea of what they look like, or how adaptable they are to other blades.
 
Hm, seems like Spetton is not a good choice then.

Btw. Stingray and the blades have an angle of 22°. Does anyone know of 22° angeled f/p which are narrow?
 
beuchat footpockets are the narrowest I know of.
Most, if not all footpockets, will accept a 22 degree blade angle. The exact angle doesn't really matter as footpockets are not supper rigid....

good luck finding something that is comfortable for you!
