    Fin foot questions

    I looked up a past thread and found some info. The gf seems to be a sufferer. A day after a dive trip, she experiences pain and redness in her little toe. The pain last for 2-3 days before subsiding. I offered to remove the toe, but she quickly poo-pooed that idea. All signs point to fin foot, but there isn't a whole lot of info out there.

    Any suggestions?

    Is it simply as easy as finding new boots and/or fins?

    Or do I get to remove the toe....

    Sorry you didn't get any replies. Did you try better fitting booties and fins...?
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??

    The gf switched to a hard sole boot. Problem solved!

    I wonder if she is at risk for heel spur? My daughter had one. Better now but she still wears flip flops at times.

    Glad she's better with the new booties.
