[#0000FF]Over the 50 plus years I have been tubing I have tried just about every kind of fins and other propulsion systems available. Since the early 1980s I have been using Mares Plana Avanti skin diving fins almost exclusively. I keep trying others but always come back to them. They fit me and my style of tubing but some float fanatics prefer others for their own reasons.
I have a size 13 foot and by the time I add a couple of layers of socks and waders I need a large soft foot pocket. The XL model of the Mares...with easily adjustable straps...allows me to use them year round with different combos of foot padding and booties.
In earlier times I could not buy fins large enough or soft enough to be comfortable. Couldn't wear enough socks or booties to stay warm in cold water without constriction and cramping.
