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!

by all means get the standard plate. the short plate is for smaller outboards. the easy troller is the best plate out there.

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.

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.

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.

The L-XL fin will probably fit you and is a little bigger, I would imagine the M-L fin would fit too and be a little shorter. Your choice depending on your level of proficiency with fins. DEFINITELY get neoprene socks, you will need them.

I would go for the extra small especially if your feet are narrow. I had a pair of smalls when they were made by Zura and that is what I ordered this time. Way too big. My shoe size runs 7 1/2 to 8 in regular shoes when I can find something narrow enough. I wear New Balance size 8 1/2 narrow for workouts. I now have a pair of extra smalls in the fins from Aqua Sphere and they seem to be working. I am having a bit of trouble with the left fin rubbing just below my ankle bone but I think it will callas over and be okay. I hope this is helpful for you.

Would recommend you wear with a 2mm fin sock also and that does take up a little room. The back scrap is forgiving.I would go with the XL . A too short fin is the last thing you want.

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,

Don't cheap out on fins if you are going on a trip to the Galapagos... my first recommendation would be to think about renting when you get there. If you want to save some money and drag your own all the way, then by all means, try them out in a pool at home first. I brought some US Divers Admiral 2 LX fins to Kauai, HI, and was not happy - I wear size 13 shoes and got the large fins, which were tight and the heel strap buckle slipped apart several times. The fins were a good size for travel, but if you are worried about losing them, you won't enjoy the scenery as much... it also depends upon how rough the water is. Have a wonderful time.

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.

I have a pair and like them a lot. not sure what you mean by 'work'?. they work for me, but can't compare to longer fins as I never owned any.

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

Only with small fins like FCS or Future. If you have a larger middle fin, like on a longboard, no.

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

I don't have the regular. I only have the soft strap. I love the soft strap, it is very comfortable and I forget that I am wearing it. My vote is to go with the soft strap.

These fins are made to anchor into FCS plugs, not into longer, slotted fin boxes. If the board you are looking for fins for was made with FCS fin plugs, then the Dorsals, at least those in this image, will be fine. They fit and work great, and are much cheaper than FCS "designer fins". If your board is made to hold Futures fins, however, these Dorsals will not fit, nor will they fit a Red-X or O'Fish'l fins plug set up. I hope that helps.
