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!

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 have only used them with open heal fins but if the close heal ones are generous, they should work.

The better the board the fewer the bounce it's I think. These are better than the long tips though. My favorite tips are the Tefo x tips they are a little longer but very sturdy!

I have purchased a pair of TYR Sport Burner fins for each of my grand children and they all love them. I got a size XSmall for the 7 now 8 year old. They were a little big but he is still wearing them. I think they really like the shorter fin as they aren't so awkward in them.

I think you can use them for either. I use stocking waders with shoes over them n these fins work awesome. I'm sure you could tighten them down to work with just stockings if you wanted.

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.

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.

If you are looking for something to use a lot, I would go to a dive shop and get fit for a mask. I have an older mask that I got at a dive shop that is much more comfortable. The fins were very comfortable, and easy to pack. I would recommend for anyone that wants a set that will easily fit in a suitcase.

Comfort mostly if you plan on wearing the fins for more than a few minutes. It also gives you a snug fit otherwise the fins can move a bit when you swim. Also great if the fins are a little big it helps you to fit better.

I don't know, I have only had custom orthotics that were really expensive, and then I tried the Powerstep Pinacle inserts and have been very happy with them. This way I could buy multiple pairs and put them in the shoes that I wear frequently without having to keep changing them from shoe to shoe. I find them just as good as the custom ones.

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

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.

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.

I actually greatly prefer the regular strap. The soft strap has a much lower long-term reliability and requires more detailed cleaning, whereas the regular strap is secure and rinses off easily, and once you have it on you forget it is even there.

It's a product improvement. The original design overheated and was notorious for failing. I bought an OEM replacement and it also had the bigger fins.

Just make sure there's ventilation. The aluminium fins warm up pretty quick.
