FA: Force Fins

Question: has any one tried the deluxe adjustable version? Are they
sized
to fit over a wading boot so I can wear the dang things without changing
footwear over water.

I was unable to wear the nonadjustable XXL Force Fins over my size 11 wading
boots, and I worried about wearing out the neoprene booties on my waders by
using them unprotected in my fins.. So, for an interim solution, I cut the
booties off a wornout pair of waders and pull them over the booties on my
waders when tubing.

I've since gone to the adjustable Force fins and they fit over my wading
boots fine. However, I've since gone to studded Aquastealth wading boots,
so don't wear them with the Force Fins for fear of tearing up the fins with
the studs ( shades of an O.Henry short story). I of bought a pair cheap
flats boots to use with the fins and they work fine.

If you get the adjustable kind, I highly recommend that you get the bungi
cord conversion kit (may come standard on the latest models). It makes it
MUCH easier to get in and out of the fins.

You can buy some slip on neoprene booties to do the same thing.

s.t.w.
