I got a pair of Sporti fins a while back and they dig into the upper side of my feet. It's to the point that I have bruises if I use them. I need to get a different pair so I can work on my kick, which desperately needs help. Would appreciate any recommendations.

I don't use fins, but Zoomers (Finis) are the only ones I've heard swimmers recommend.

I returned my Zoomers and replaced them with Speedo Biofuse. These work well for me.

Thanks for the tips. I knew the Zoomers were popular but I went the cheap route and paid for it. I'll check out those Speedos, too.

X2 on the Speedo Biofuse.

Order one size larger than you normally wear and they will fit perfectly.

I had the Speedo Biofuse all year and dreaded kicking workouts. My coach was on me to replace them from the beginning but I'd spent good money and didn't. Finally she had an older pair of Speedo Optimus fins that a swimmer had given her when they'd replaced them and she gave them to me. Holy night & day difference! I could suddenly keep up with my lane and didn't feel like vomiting at the end of kick sets. LOL. So I highly recommend the Optimus.

I've had the zoomers (Red) for the last 2years. I've loved them, but for whatever reason, they've started really blistering my toes (outside 2 on both feet).

I just purchased a pair of the Speedo Biofuse and should get them this week. I took it as a sign of good things when half of the Masters class I swim with, uses them.
