The shape of the foot pockets has been the subject of considerable research, and along with the dedicated left and right
foot fins, give exceptional comfort, and greatly reduce the incidence of cramps. The heel strap has ankle cut-outs to prevent
chafing and all the edges of the foot cavity are rounded for the same reason. The underside of the foot area has a non-slip
tread pattern which makes walking round the pool less hazardous, and also means that tumble turns and diving are safer.
The angle of the blade surface relative to the foot is different to conventional fins, and has been designed to create the least
possible resistance to the kick action.
The asymmetrical plan shape of the blade allows the fin to be reasonably short and wide without the potential nuisance of the
fins bumping together while swimming, or walking - another benefit of using individual left and right foot moulds.
The "V" rails along the edges of the blade have a dual function - as well as ensuring the blade is sufficiently stiff to function
effectively and channel water along the blade.
Each of the 5 sizes has a different blade / foot area ratio to make sure that it is correct for the persons size - this means the
smaller sizes have proportionally longer blades relative to the foot pocket length to create the correct thrust.
