It's too big!

[Nim]

Here an additional problem with my Mertailor's tail…
I had started here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?132-Archive-quot-Maybe-I-received-a-tail-already-used-quot&p=13219#post13219

Now,after tried the tail it in water,I'm scared because the monofin has slipped away from my feet! I almost lost my tail in the high sea...

What can I do for tighten the mono fin? There are no more bars,the band it's smooth on 10/15 cm.

This mono fin have laces,but are too long and I don't know it has been painful for me to put my feet into the foot pockets.
After two minutes out the water, leaves red marks painful on my right foot.I don't understand why,maybe because it's too big for me?And also this mono fin gives me foot cramps...
The mono fin is a "rapid".

This tail it's a totally trouble:
*I had to repainting
* I had to sew a rubber band around the hips
*I paid a shoemaker for reshape the sides (too big)

This tail cost me like a MVD tail!!! Over 1000$
I eat nervous every time I look this unusable tail,because I trusted him? At this time I had a beautiful (and swimmable) MVD tail …I'm so sad.

Sorry for my english

What size are your feet? I have a rapid monofin and they do leave red marks on my feet, but that is simply because of the way the monofin is gripping the feet. If you want, socks will help keep your feet from getting as marked up and it will help your feet stay in the pockets better.

I'm sorry your tail is such a trouble to you dear. And your English is just fine. :3

Im sorry you've been having so much trouble. The straps on the monofin should adjust, they aren't exactly comfortable though

I agree with everyone else- To make it hurt your feet less, socks or neoprene booties may help. Wearing socks or booties may also help with the straps being too loose. Thick fabric or neoprene can take up space in the foot pockets. If this does not help, perhaps you could replace the straps with tighter ones.

From google translate:
Sono d'accordo contutti gli altri-Per rendere meno male ai piedi,calze ocalzari in neoprene può aiutare.Indossare calzini o scarpette può anche aiutare con le cinghie di essere troppo lenta.Tessuto spesso o neoprene possono occupare molto spazio nelle tasche del piede.Se questo non risolve il problema, forse si potrebbe sostituirele cinghie strette con quelle.
