FINS FOOTPOCKETS HACK! molding footpockets to your foot for a better fit!

We will go through how to use a heat gun to mold your footpockets to your foot for a better and more comfortable fit. Works best with Pathos footpockets. We have done this with Leaderfins Forza footpockets too but only for loosening areas that are too tight.

[@nicolashachfeld3770]

This Sounds good. I will try it with my bogyboard fins from Huboard. They are too tight on my ankles and on one pinky toe. Greetings from Costa Rica.

Great ideas !! thanks for the useful info

Love your channel guys! Just subscribed, I just ordered some Penetrator Ghost fins with Cetma S Wing pockets from Larry in Australia, going to use this technique on the foot pockets to get them nice & snug. I’d love to come & dive with your guys in the Philippines some time!

[@horimaikuku1556]

Can I use this method to mould my foot pockets that are slightly to wide?

[@guillermofranco3353]

Will this method work the same way? If I want shrink the opening of the foot pockets? Because the are a little too lose!

[@moereda9906]

Do I need a smaller size or bigger size to be able to do this trick?

Is it mandatory to drink beer while you're doing it? I want to make sure I get it right like yours are :)

I've got these pockets on a set of nautilus carbon blades, and they're the perfect size front to back and the perfect width. It's just the top of my foot that gets a pretty bad pressure point on it. Just wondering if this method works on stretching out the material for the joint/bump (idk what its called, lol), on the top of the foot.

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

Yes it will bud :).

[@joseborja9309]

I don't have heat gun and my fins are loosen up can I use hot water for my plastic foot pockets ?

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

We havent tried but probably not hot enough.

[@alexharalambiev2873]

Did you manage to mold the hole in front? I feel it's too flat and it puts pressure on my thumbs which gets painful after a few hours in the water.

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

We didnt try it with the front hole for the toes bud. Should be worth a try if it's giving you pain :)

[@djnree]

it pain like hell man...i have tried mate, it works fine on front side

[@gurayelvira7486]

What if my pockets are too loose? Can I also use this method?

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

Yes but only to a certain extent and depends on what footpockets youre using.

[@shairatibon]

Can I use my hairdryer as an alternative?

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

Yes you may :)

Can this work using a hair dryer? Coz I don’t have a heat gun 😅

Yes it can :)

I have a seac motus long fins.. I think it is big for my size.. If i stand, i can almost fit two of my fingers at the sizmde if my foot.. Can i use this method???
What size of the sock would i be using sir?? Thank you

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

If the footpockets are 2 fingers too big, I dont think this method will work :(. You should go for socks that fit your foot comfortably.

[@chargedtoheaven1679]

@@badfishdivechannel3467 what kind of socks sir? The 3mm??

[@badfishdivechannel3467]

@@chargedtoheaven1679 choose socks that will fill out the extra space of your footpocket.

[@joedcuartero5205]

Same problem here bro. Seac fins are made to be used with socks as they say. Its footpockets are wide in diameter thats why it feels so loose even though the pocket itself are fine. Its just that the opening is too wide.

Can we use a hair blower instead? 🤣

@@badfishdivechannel3467It might take a long time with hair dryer, not get hot enough, or eventually you burn the hair drier out as it gets too hot..LOL
