Sizing Guide

For freediving or recreational monoffin use, we highly recommend ordering up one size. These fins are designed for maximum transmission of energy between the body to fin and therefore the footpockets are designed to be worn tight. Yes, it is uncomfortable to start with, but with time your foot will get accustomed to its use.

The ‘mm’ refers to the manufactures footpocket sizing, we have added the European size equivalents. If you are not familiar with your European foot size please consult a converter chart online, or you are also welcome to submit your foot measurements to the FII Pro Shop Staff.

220mm = EU 35-37

240mm = EU 38-40

260mm = EU 41-42

290mm = EU 43

300mm = EU 44

310mm = EU 45

320mm = EU 46+

We highly reccomend clients to pay special attention when trying on a new monofin: 1) Wet the footpocket with water, 2) Lay plenty of towels down to protect the underside of the fin, 3) Lubricate foot with baby shampoo/any basic shampoo or body wash, 3) Sitting down with the wet monofin ontop of the towels slide your foot into the pockets one by one, 4) test for fit (remember it will be tight, but does the length of the foot match the footpocket?), 5) gently remove feet from footpocket, rinse with fresh water & dry off with towels.

Unreturnable fins: finger nail marks around the rubber footpocket, scratches in the unshaved fibergalss (bottom of pool), sand in rubber, etc
