My wife is 5'0 and a small frame and complains her fins are to big. We do mostly recreational diving in the tropics and looking for a good travel fin as well. Any recommendations?
Yea she has the mares avanti superchannels. She hates them thinks she cant move here legs because they are so big and bulky. I was thinking force fins but hey cost so much $$$ and was hoping maybe they is a cheaper option.
i have I have the same fins and find them hard to kick in, I dont think in my case it is because they are too big but them seem really stiff and I dont have the strongest legs. In comparison I am 5'4" and 140lbs, i wear a size small.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
I tried everyones fins in my pool session while getting certified cuz I saw soooo many mixed reviews on my Tusa Xpert Zooms "splitfins".
Well after trying all the fins, I realized I made the right choice for myself. Propulsion was great & zero leg fatigue.

I vote for Force Fins. They were more expensive than others I may have gotten, but I certainly do NOT regret it. I've found them to be head and shoulders above every other fin I've tried in so many ways. Small, durable, comfortable, they allow you to move through the water efficiently, but also allow you to maneuver when you need to unlike split fins. And they last longer than other fins. My wife is 5'2" and she loves hers.
