Hi all - First post for me! I live in Singapore and free dive mostly in Bali. As a DM, I dive mostly in Indonesia. With strong currents, free dive fins are wonderful.

I currently use Mares Pro Razor fin for scuba diving (as a DM) and free diving. The fins fit fine, perhaps a bit loose in the heal. After about 1 1/2 years of heavy use, with fins getting throw around in the RIB, dive deck, and customers stepping only fins, the foot pocket is torn. See attached photograph.

I am open to suggestions for new fins. FYI, I have relatively narrow feet. My shoe size is EU 42, USA 9. The Mares fin pocket is 5 1/2- 6 1/2 or EU 39-40. I could wait until my next trip to the USA (San Francisco and Seattle). Before purchasing, I prefer to try on fins first. Any suggestions?

cressi has a narrow footpocket. Take a look at the Cressi 3000 LD. Fixedf footpocket

If the blades of your Mares are still fine you always can buy new footpockets
