[cool]I will not challenge your opinion. I have already issued the disclaimer that I know there are tubers who like whatever models of force fins they are using. There are quite a few different designs for the foot pocket and heel strap. My test was limited to the "Float Tubers" model, as picured below, from the Force Fin werbsite.

I suspect that if the fin is possible to get adjusted so that it fits tightly, it would work OKAY...for some people. However, I conducted side by side (one after the other) tests, agains my Plana Avanti's, and there was no comparison in power. I would challenge anyone who likes force fins to a race...short or long distance...with me wearing my Planas. When I have had my Wheaties (and Geritol) for breakfast, I have never had anyone wearing any other fins who could keep up with me.
As always, whatever works for you is what you should be using. If nothing else, you become comfortable with it and can fish better, by being able to focus on fishing and not on your gear.
By the way, MELOE, how about registering and hanging out with us once in awhile. You sound like a knowledgeable tuber and we would value your contributions.
