Dive Rite XT Fins w/Adjustable Spring Heels
The Dive Rite Spring-Heel XT Fins offer an excellent combination of performance and value. Designed for performance and preferred by experienced divers, the special blade design works for any style of kick, including frog kicks, modified flutter, and power kicks. The XT fin's blend of Monoprene™, an injection-molded thermoplastic elastomer material, offers excellent balance of power to work ratio, providing efficient finning in high flow or stiff currents. They are stiff, yet with plenty of snap. Plus they are lighter weight than traditional rubber fins meaning you are less likely to cramp with long distance swimming.
These fins come with a marine grade stainless steel spring-heel strap, recently updated with polyoxymethylene (aka Delrin and POM) swivel buckles that allows the strap to swivel out of the way for easier donning. The heel-strap length can be changed by moving the buckle locking screw between 2 positions on the buckle, allowing the strap fit to be customized to your preference. The strap also has an updated design heel pad with a low profile finger hold pull tab that is durable and unlikely to become a snag point yet provides comfort with the ease of use. Divers can customize the fit of their straps by moving the buckle locking screw between 2 positions on the buckle.
When selecting the size, keep in mind which style suit you will be diving -- wetsuit booties or a drysuit. The Extra Large size accommodates some oversize drysuit boots.

NOTICE: Dive Gear Express always ships factory fresh fins, but all fin materials have some characteristics that upon close inspection can make the fins appear aged or used. By design, all fin materials are soft regardless of brand, so handing during manufacturing and shipping through various points of the supply chain will inevitably cause the appearance of some minor cosmetic scuffs. Some fin materials, especially rubber, also contain a mold release agent that exhibits a gradual "blooming" of a haze on the surface of the fin as it dries following manufacturing, giving the appearance of oxidation and aging. If the cosmetics are bothersome then they can be improved by scrubbing the surface with ordinary soap, water and a cloth.
