Hi everyone!!
Soooooo, i did the smart thing and ordered just a monfin first, I decided the FINIS foil monofin was within my range of budget and expertise(which is smaller that some, im sure) and i tested it in the pool..
Although with the smart intention of looking at the reviews before ordering, and them saying that the sizing is smaller than what it says, i did the dumb thing and ordered it too big.. and when i mean too big, i mean its JUST slightly big enough to stay on m feet and slip off when maneuvering SOMETIMES in the water..
Trying to fix it while in 15ft water isnt always the best, but i'm hoping its normal enough of an occurrence that somebody might have advice to fix this problem.. im way too stubborn to let this effect my swimming and i WILL use this fin for my first fabric tail..
I am pretty handy at sewing for as much time as i can, and ive already come up with he idea of buying Neoprene and making slippers, or ordering those silicone water footie things.. but before i do that, i was curious to see if anyone had any other ideas or have had experiences with this?
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this!!

PS! Has anyone been on the coasts of Spain yet?(any of you more famous traveling mermaids) If not, you should check out Rota.. Went there a few weeks ago, BEYOND BEAUTIFUL!! and cheap! Food is there good too, but there are barely any seashells.. ah well!!
Much Love From the middle of the Ocean!!
