So, I have a severe latex allergy and I was wondering about the monofins. I plan on using a fabric tail, but has anyone encountered any problem with the monofins themselves? Are there any ones in particular that I should avoid?

Are you allergic to rubber too?
Most footpockets are rubber.
Methinks the least risky would be a fin with only footstraps, you can easily wear socks with those and avoid skin contact.

Latex is a type of rubber. I'm not sure exactly which rubbers foot pockets are made of though. You could get a pair of neoprene booties to wear under your monofin to ensure you don't have contact if you get a reaction.
