Howdy! Does anyone know a company that can sell me just a set of open-heel footpockets?
Who can I buy a set of open-heel footpockets from?

Are you building your own fin? If you are just repairing a fin, what brand/model. Many free dive fins have interchangeable blades (different flexes); is that what you are talking about?

The company I work for (Hollow Graphic, hollowgraphic.com) wants to do a little excursion into carbon fiber and I recommended fins. It's very casual, but nobody makes a CF split fin (that I can find) and I, frankly, really want a pair. Everything is better when made out of carbon fiber .
I should have the CADs by tomorrow but we need to know what dimensions to make the rear of the blade. I think we might be going a different direction not requiring out sourced footpockets though. Updates soon.
Also yes, I have a pair of C4 flap fins and I know that Omer, Sporasub, and Riffe will all sell me a pair of full foot footpockets but I'm aiming at scuba.

I know that Beuchat used to make an open heel long blade fin, don't know if they still do though.
If you get these fins up and going I would be very interested in them as I have a very wide foot and can't wear boots or sox with the full foot fins that are available for Spearfishing and my feet are COLD!!!!!!!!

Sporasub makes open-heel foot pockets. I know this because I own a pair of Dessaults:
They were ordered through a LDS that's out of business now. You might call Vanessa at The Freedive Shop-she's an expert at finding stuff.
BTW, if your company ever gets into it, I'd be very interested in a CF monofin.
All the best, James
Edit: Have you considered a fin that would bolt on to a Revolution footbed? I haven't had the chance to try a pair of Revolutions, and what little I've heard from a friend is "love the foot, hate the fin", and said the fin was "half of a C4".
