So I bought the Deep6gear thick boots and Eddy Fins. Finally got to try them out today.
The boots are a little barrow for my foot but overall comfortable. I got used to wearing them on the boat. Only thought was a) they could use a drainage hole, and b) were a little tough to get off. To be fair, I’ve never owned boots before, so this could be the norm. I am normally a size 10 shoe and these size 10 fit fine with the exception of being a little but narrow. Maybe a size larger would have been better, but maybe not. Hard to say.
Now for the Eddy Fins. They got positive comments from the DM who was wearing orange fins from another manufacturer. The shoe felt tight by the toe when on. I also had the fin come off one foot when I did a stride entry. Maybe need to tighten the spring.
The fins worked well and were comfortable. I am transitioning from a longer full foot fin that is more flexible, to the Eddy, so I noticed that my frog kick needs work. It really does expose bad technique
Overall very happy with my purchases and if I get the Deep6gear wetsuit will be a walking billboard for them. Yes I own the signature regulators too.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays to all.
