they both work great I just purchased the ones with the logo, so when I go kayaking my feet stay warm during this time of year.

I bought the Akona fin socks - they come in actual sizes. I used these with my snorkeling fins. They snugged up the fins, but weren't tight - they loosened a bit in the water. I have dive boots to wear with my dive fins. The Akona socks worked great - hope this helps!

Yes, there is a tight fit on these fins! They will be fine I bought 3 of them! Love them!

These are great fins and I have had them now for three years. The rubber is not uncomfortable. It is not brick hard nor does it agitate your skin. I am not an expert or pro, but it feels very comfortable during use. I might suggest you put them on and off while in the water...

I think you're real consideration would be size. The size of you foot isn't the same with shoes or neo boots on. That said, my daughters prefer these for snorkeling and wake boarding. I think you could definitely get away with a sock thickness, but I'd say no to a formal water shoe, and Maybe to a 3mm neo sock. Hope this helps..

I highly doubt it. The FS 110 is a soft top board and those have a unique fin set-up.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these.They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

No. The fins are very lightweight but are meant to be used over wader booties when float tubing. They cannot be used with bare feet. The geometry is also all wrong for snorkeling. It sounds like you are looking for "shortie" fins like the kind used by body surfers in Hawaii. If you are not a strong swimmer you need full size fins suitable for quick entry and exit in surf or for avoiding currents/rips. Don't try to cut corners on fins. Suggest if you want to cut weight you go to a dive shop and try out multiple pairs of fins. Pick the lightest fins that still have decent fit and a reasonable amt of thrust/surface area for your intended use and swimming ability.

Well I wish I could tell you definitively which ones to buy , but I'm not sure. I can tell you that I almost always wear a men's 12 boot and I have the large spike fit great. However I think that it might be better to go tighter as opposed to looser that way, they stay on better when stretched tight. Hope that helps, and definitely go with these as opposed to the cheaper coil versions, there is no comparison.

Id have to say, probably not much. The Bio fuse according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvqCa_dhbC8, look way more flat. I used the contoured speedo ones and find that I do NOT use them anymore. They were helpful on backstroke for like a week and now Im done with them. If you think you need paddles, I would try the Biofuse, cause I dont feel any more resistance with the contoured. However, the quality is really good, hard plastic, and tight bands. So Im assuming the Biofuse will be the same quality that will last for years to decade. I want to try the Biofuse now. I think these are all kinda gimmicks if you already know how to swim. I dont use a kick board, I lie on my back. But try the Biofuse and then sell them online if you dont like them.

The best one over all is the black addition for the best over all specs/features. I also bought a red filter for underwater use, it will help with the clarity of your under water excursions. For mounts I see a lot of people use either mono pods or arm bands. Hope this help :).

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

Well, in the fresh water pool where I use them they do. If you are in cold enough water for booties i would just try a garage sale pair of old Jet Fins.

Get the larger one with the hinged plate, if you forget it's down (and you will) you won't ruin it when you take off. I have one on a 4 cylinder and a V8 Mercruiser. Spend the extra 20 bucks and get the fins, they take a lot of the strain off the cavitation plate on the motor and make a Hydrofoil plate out of it.

I don't know why the different name! I'm also training for pararescue...been there before when I was 19. I believe these are the generic brand of the actual ones. The REAL rocket fins are by Aqualung but they cost about $30-$40 more. I have mine now and work great! Don't forget though to also get the proper mask they use in indoc. Its the Aqualung Atlantis ii mask! I had to reorder mine bc I got some cheap oval mask. You can get the real mask at shopnavyseals.com its cheaper than Aqualung website. Good luck training!

I think the rubber is quite soft actually. They are definitely softer than the Zoomer fins - the Zoomers actually hurt my feet sometimes, and I sized them pretty well. The Microfins to me were sized a bit larger so they are a tad loose on my feet, but they still work out well and do not fall off.

The Strutz Pro has a wider, fatter cushion. Sole angel seems better for ball of foot pain and smaller. I prefer the Pro hands down. Hint: Keep one to wash and one to wear.

You can flip each fin and use it in either foot. Some marks on the outside are not symmetrical, but the fit/feel is the same.
