Scuba Fins With Open Heels

Open heel fins are designed for use with dive booties, so the foot pockets are larger than those of closed heel scuba fins. The foot pocket is made of a harder material, so wearing these scuba fins without dive booties is uncomfortable. The open heeled fins and dive booties combination is preferred by many divers, as the booties keep divers' feet warm and protect the feet while entering and exiting the water.
