WaterWay Model-2 "Monofin Orientation" - Finswimming or Freediving?

[MerEmma]

As far as I can tell, this option is only presented on WaterWay's Model 2 Monofin, seen here: http://www.freedivershop.com/fins-and-monofins/freediving/freediving-monofins/waterway-model-2-monofin

If you scroll down to purchase it, there's an option between Finswimming or Freediving. I did a quick google search and couldn't seem to find anything on the website at all on what the option means. I figured someone here might have an answer to what the difference is between the two?

[Rett]

I may be wrong but i think it has to do with where the foot pockets are placed? Feet mostly on top of the blade versus at the end of the blade (your feet aren't resting on the blade hardly at all)

[Mermaid Wesley]

No I asked on their fb and apparently the do swimming ones fit tighter. Or that's what they said.

So it's a footpocket size difference is all? Or a different shape of footpocket?

[UltimateSwimFin.com]

I don't know the specific differences between these 2 products, but typically a finswimming footpocket is super tight and designed for maximum power transmission and for like :10 mins use max.

Often, rubber compounds will be stiffer for finswimming than freediving.

Having said that, my first monofin ever was a model 2 freediving one and I could only wear it for :20 mins before my feet were completely done and aching / throbbing.

Here's the official response I got from Freediver shop. They responded within 24 hours and answered my question, yay! Now to figure out which would be better.


~ Finswimming monofins are designed for performance and have tighter fitting foot pockets while freediving monofins are designed for comfort and have less restrictive foot pockets. You should choose orientation depending on the activity you will mostly be using your monofin for - freediving or finswimming.

There are so many models of these monofins I can't decide, lol.

[UltimateSwimFin.com]

There is no question. Your feet with ache incredibly in either. It's like Chinese foot binding, unless you go oversized.

The lack of comfort can not be overstated. It's torture and your feet will need to work up to :20 mins and the last 5-10 of that will still hurt, but you get used to it.

I've dealt with that with my old bifins and my first monofin. :/ I have really, really stupid shaped feet and I don't ever think I'll get a super comfy monofin but I definitely think that the Model-2 might not be right for me. Just so much research ahead of me for this, ahaha.
