Open Heel Scuba Fins FAQs

Why Are Open Heel Fins Better?

Open heel fins are often considered better for scuba diving because they are adjustable and can be worn with dive boots, providing insulation and protection for the feet. This makes them versatile for various water temperatures and entry points, such as rocky or uneven shorelines. Open heel fins also offer more power and stability, especially useful in strong currents or when carrying additional scuba equipment.

Do I Need Boots for Open Heel Fins?

Yes, you typically need dive boots with open heel fins. Boots provide insulation in colder waters and protect your feet during shore entries. They also create a snug fit within the open heel pocket, which prevents chafing and improves comfort during long dives.

What is the Difference Between Open and Closed Fins?

Open Heel Fins: These fins have an adjustable strap at the heel, designed to be worn with dive boots. They are ideal for colder waters, strong currents, and rugged entry points.

Closed (Full Foot) Fins: These cover the entire foot, fitting snugly without a strap, and are usually worn without boots. They are lighter and more streamlined, making them popular for warm-water snorkeling or diving.

How Should Open Heel Fins Fit?

Open heel fins should fit snugly with no excess movement, while still allowing room for a dive boot. The fin pocket should encase your foot comfortably without pinching, and the strap should hold the heel securely without slipping. Properly fitted fins help ensure efficient propulsion and minimize the risk of blisters or discomfort.

Should I Size Up or Down for Open Heel Fins?

Thanks to adjustable straps, open heel fins can accommodate a few consecutive shoe sizes, so there is usually no need to go up or down a size. Additionally, most manufacturers have size guides explaining how to properly size open heel fins, make sure to check the guides before purchasing. If you can, try the fins on with the specific boots you plan to wear. This will help ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
