I have the Caddis "strap on boot" fins. They work ok, but in my opinion they are heavy, inefficient, and a pain to get on.

Except mine are black and I got them on a good sale. I wear them with a pair of cheap water shoes from Walmart, and I have some fin keeper straps on them. I love them!

My husband frequently asks me if I am "cheating" and using my trolling motor, when it is just me kicking.
