When I went swimming, the buckle popped off and I lost it! Does anyone have advice on a good fix or replacement buckle without replacing the entire monofin?

Have a look on the Linden web site I'm sure they sell replacement straps

Change to this type of fin straps. They never fall off and are very secure.

How will it stay in the middle of the monofin as on the Linden is one full stap that hooks onto a part in the middle of the feet?

Oops! Thought it was a proper monofin with the seperate straps. Though, it can be changed if you're clever about it and switch out the middle "buckle" with a plastic lobster clasp.

I use the straps I mentioned, and they are long enough to go around the back if you use one.

Me personally I'd purchase replacements from Linden however if its not old you could get in touch and tell them what's happened and if it's still in warranty they should send out a replacement free of charge

Hm. Do you mean the buckle going on those round posts? If so, maybe buckles for a scuba fin will fit? As long as you have the Linden band and the center hook, that is. The band has to fit the buckles, too, but those thingies get lost quite often from scuba fins, too. Taking the fin to a scuba shop and showing it to them might be an option.

Late to the party, but I damaged my Linden strap and while it's not a show stopper, I would be in the market for a new one. But I don't see anywhere I can buy one. Am I just not strong enough in my google-fu? Yes, I looked at the Linden shop - awaiting a reply to my email.

I emailed Body Glove (who I purchased it from), and they sent me a new one free of charge!
