TIP # 1: You must know how strong your leg muscles are, because if your muscles aren’t that strong or you don’t dive or exercise often, hard and long blades on fins can make your dive uncomfortable and you will not happy with your purchase. So try the fins on and swing your legs in the air. This should give you a clear idea if the fins are stiff or flexible and how they will behave underwater.
TIP # 2: For full-foot or pocket fins, make sure that they fit correctly by moving your legs and ankles up and down. Not losing them is a good sign of proper fit and they must be neither too tight or too loose, and of course, comfortable.
TIP # 3: Find the degree of buoyancy of the fins - if they pull your feet up, you will need some weight on your ankles.
TIP # 4: When buying adjustable fins, remember that you have to purchase boots first and wear them while trying on your fins.
