Subject: 4 inch cuts from my Fins
So I bought Zoomers.  They rock and I quickly learn some things about my kick and how I am more dominate on one side.  After using them I notice I cut my feet up and it hurt.  The next day I went to the pool and used them again.  I decided to fight through the pain and had a great workout but my feet are all bloody.  Im afraid I wont be able to use them (ever again without getting cut) or even swim because of the deep cuts.  What solutions do I have?  Are there special socks I can use with these fins?  Or gel?  Body glide?  HELP!!

Never used them myself, but a lot of the people who wear them at masters do use a sock of some sort.

You can try wearing a neoprene bootie like the scuba divers wear.

I had the same problem with all of the rubber/plastic fins. I ended up buying a pair of these: http://www.onlinesports.com/pages/I,NEO-Fitnessfin.html. They're a *bit* expensive, but they don't eat my feet.
