if you mean swim fins instead of a monofin, you potentially could, but they would be fairly noticeable through the silicone. the sides of the swim fins are thick and you could trim those down, but i believe it weakens the fins altogether. another issue could be if the two fins move around in the tail

in case you mean feet, i currently took my monofin out of my silicone tail for repairs and it was not good for swimming lol

Swimming without a monofin doesn't work. Trust me, I've tried.

The only chance is to screw them together with a suitable plastic board to build your own monofin but then you can buy one from the start already.
