Question A good idea or not?
"Freedom Fins" see link:-

Are we all going to wearing these in the future?
I like the idea of being able to walk whilst wearing fins, but watching the pool video on their site, their fins don't seem to have much thrust?

So good idea or not?

Crap idea if you ask me. You need to be able to use your ankles to fin otherwise you're stricted to a flutter kick and you'll be a bigger silt-kicker than Howard.

mmm bit sceptical....i do a lot of frog kicking so doubt that would work. Also i dread to think of the cost - hardly likely to be under £100......

Didn't know Stoney was going to those lengths to stop solo diving

Needless to say I am on the pre-order list as I think they will be great alongside my Buzz lightyear drysuit and rocket equipped Inspiration.
