open heel fin can adjust wan ma right? make sure you dont buy those that you need to adjust maximum for you leg to go in... my 2 cents...

noted! coz my friend (a seasoned diver) sort of told me that i should get the open heel fin and booty together.. so i am kinda confused. lol.

i like open heel fin also. less blisters when on land.

what size is your feet?
a GENERAL guideline is as follows:

S = Size 4 to 6
M = Size 7 to 9
L = Size 10 to 12

if you are anywhere above and below those range you'll need those odd sized fins and i would advice you against buying 2nd hand fins.
btw how much is cheap anyway?
fins are very very subjective. get the right one you'll enjoy the dive, get the wrong one you'll curse the day you bought it.
my advice is get feedback on the model from diver you know. best yet beg, borrow or steal and then try it out before deciding.

i am female size 6-7, i guess i can get M. It's a mares fin, not sure which model selling at rm 230 (i think) ... and it's brand new... i can try it at the shop, but they ran out of stock on booties my size, so i hav to try it without booties. not sure if it's risky to buy it without trying wit booties first.

it is risky without the booty...
i am using M but my size is 9, fits me perfectly but i do know some people who are size 7 who feels my fins are a bit loose. I am using the volo btw.
anyway hobi sports is clearing their stocks cause their distributorship of mares products will end this month.
you can still purchase it from rainbow runner next month.
plus MIDE is just next week. I am sure there will be some deals then.

Don't rush to a decision. Take your time
