Could someone please explain the cush fins? How are they supposed to help with comfort? Wouldn't it be preferable to leave them off? I don't get it.

I bought these returned them and went with some more affordable Yamaha's also on amazon. The fins are a useless gimmick that actually hinder the wear of the earbuds.

At first I thought they were pretty useless too. However, after playing with the size and position of them, I noticed that they help support the earbud and keep it aligned in my ear canal. Initially, the earbuds would start to feel uncomfortable after wearing for awhile but if I rotated the cush fin towards the back of my head it would support the earbud and put less strain on the ear canal. If I rotated it too far it would start to feel uncomfortable on the front of the ear canal. So eventually I found the right position that was very comfortable. Everybody's ears are different so if you think they feel good without the fins, leave them off. I think they also help slightly with keeping the buds in my ears.

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...

Nothing really, except alignment socks will "crush" after a while and loose their effectiveness. But they may be a little more comfortable due to the coziness factor if you like socks on your feet. Separaters will retain their form.

I wear them when my feet are in hot/warm water like bath or foot soak. The warm water helps foot muscles relax and stretch appropriately.Also sometimes, for 15 minutes or so, while watching a TV show. You can really do whatever works best for you.

I would say they have normal padding in the area you mentioned. I would suggest inserts that address that area of the foot. Hope that helps.

I use them to protect the heels from abrasion when they get scraped against the sheets. Need to find cause of pain to relieve I think.

The tush cush may be too firm for that. You may need something softer like a good quality air cushion.

You really need to get both fins. Each has it's place in your training regimen. Here is a you tube that explains it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDVakmzHHM

I personally would not. There is not back to adjust the tightness of the fins. For comfort reasons i wouldn't. I think they make socks which are like boots in material just, a sock in a sense.

I've only used the paddles, the use of fins is possible but I think it would be uncomfortable

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

Developing a proper kick is not helped or necessarily hindered by the wearing of fins. Fins are worn, typically, to strengthen the leg muscles, not as a means to develop the proper form.

It is hard to give a yes or no to pain reduction-- I slep with them on for a couple weeks-- got tired of putting them on every night --I'm old as dirt - a few nights later feet were acting up so got up, put socks on went to sleep !!!Might be in this old empty hesd !!!

I've seen them in pictures on the back which didn't make sense because the bib holder should go on the front. I find them more comfortable in front. I tried them both ways. Hope that helps. :)

You have to take them off. The idea of the covers is to protect your cleats while you are not riding.

I've only used them to shorten my swimming fins, too long. I suppose one could use them on the sides of a shoe, but I'm guessing.
