 | hard to get the foot in.... Hello All; I just got a pair of Santi booties 200g. I find them very hard to put them on when not in the water (like in a boat before a dive). Do you guys have a trick so ""lubricate"" the fins (I have OMS slipstreams / very similar to the jet) so the foot gets in the foot pocket easily while on the surface? Thanks; Steve |

| had same prob You just have to squeeze them in i have 400g Dui boots the first few dives were almost impossible stretching my fin straps, after a lot of dives they compress and are very easy. I squashed them with some books and tanks but diving them does the job. Something else i do is wear very thin socks under them, once they get squeezed into place they are very comfortable wouldn't dive with out them keep the feet very warm. |
