Please note that each of the fin models has its own mould, so sizes may vary between models. Original training fins is a universal foot, meaning you can wear either fin on either foot, also giving you a wider foot cavity. The Elite and Elite MAX are specific left and right foot fit.
1: Check Length – Stand on a piece of paper toe to wall. Measure to the end of heel (in the arch) as this is where the strap sits - put a dot here. (Should be the length of your foot +/- 3-5mm)
2: Measure the distance between front and back dots. This should be the length of your foot.

FITTING YOUR FINS (once you receive them):
DMC fins are made of a silicone-based material which offers maximum comfort, and like most polymers, care is required when putting the fin on without overstretching the strap.
Step 1: Push the fin as far onto the foot as possible before pulling the strap
Step 2: Lift the strap over the heel
Step 3: Adjust for comfort
TEST YOUR FIN SIZE:
Sit on a chair, extend your legs, and flex your ankle/foot out. This is your swimming position. They are not a shoe so standing in them will not test the correct size.
The short bladed Original Training Fin brings the centre of effort back to the foot, increasing leg strength and "muscle memory" while maintaining an elevated heart rate with a kicking motion specific to the flutter kick. The V channel edge creates a 'grip' on the water, maximizes kick drill results and development of neuromuscular memory. Like the standard short fin, this is a great option for those already comfortable with longer distances. Easy on the ankles due to soft material! A great fin to work yourself up to the elite Arena Powerpro Fin or DMC Elite Max fins as the blades are similar.
