Hollis F1 fins in "smaller" sizes

Any word if/when the F1s will be available in smaller sizes?

I'm US women's size 6/EUR 37, and am currently wearing Oceanic V16s size Small. Would the "regular" sized fins be too large? Is this size actually available yet? Most online retailers only seem to have XL...

Large F1 fins will be available and shipping by Jan 1. Unfortunately since you are in the small size range, the LG (Regular) size most likely will be too large. SM sizes are in the works, but no final word or ETA yet.

Thanks,

Nick, most everyone seems to have raised the price by $30 or so (they were $114 everywhere, now they seem to be around $144 most places). Is this a materials issue or a supply and demand curve thing? Just curious.

Anyway, really looking forward to giving these a good test run underwater!

Hey guys,

Just checked. Large size fins will be in stock by the end of next week. The introductory price of $114.00 has ended and been changed back to the current regular price of $149.95.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
