I recently got a Swimtail's tail and a Finis monofin to go with it. The monofin is extremely uncomfortable/borderline painful on the top of my feet when I wear it. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas how to make it more comfortable to wear? My other monofin doesn't fit the tail, or I'd just wear it instead.

You could try wearing neoprene booties that go over your feet. These can be purchased at most dive stores. It might also be the incorrect size for your feet (does the finis Aquarius come in different feet sizes?)

They come in Adult and Child. I got an adult. I have average size (7.5), narrow feet, so "adult" sizes anything are usually fit as they should for a broad-sized item. I'll try the booties the next time I have extra money to spend, and am either anywhere near a dive shop, or find some online.

its happen to me too, I use the cheap ace bandages or sports tape and it helps a ton (you can get it at like walmart target duane reade, cvs etc... maybe give it a try?

I'll have to try that. I have plenty of ace bandages and sports tape.

I don't get "foot pain" for the fin, like muscle, or tendon pain. My feet have never had problems like that. It's where the fin comes into contact with the top of my foot, it causes extreme discomfort, just to where the top of the foot is in contact with the edge of the foot insert of the fin.

...yeah I specifically talk about that, and give specific solutions, and even show the scars I have on the top of my feet. That's why I posted it.
Because it's a blog I cover all aspects

Sorry, I was half asleep when I watched the video. I'll go back and re-watch it when I have a chance.
