You will find that many guys and gals on this board including myself use spring straps with our fins. Makes it much easier. Try doing a search for "spring straps"
Good Luck!
 
Do your boots have strap hooks at the heel?

How much space do you have from your heel to the end of the fin when your foot is in it?
 
Play with it out of the water. How old are they anything broke? If they are the right size and the straps/buckles are new there should not be a problem. If the problem persisits change the straps-buckle and/or fins.
 
I had a similar problem with my Jet fins. Try adjusting the straps (may be too loose or tight) or slapping some ducktape on the straps. That way if the lock comes off the strap will still be immovable.

My fins straps and buckles haven't come off or broke in 9 years. The only way thats happening is if you bought something cheap. I would suggest upgrading to a better product. I dive with Cressi-sub fins... many choices from Cressi-sub... but all are very good.

Actually, there is alot that can go wrong even with expensive products. Cressi sucks! Jet fins rule!
