  Arch support in dedicated right and left foot pockets keeps your feet in the optimal position for finning, delivering maximum efficiency paired with a comfortable fit.

• Assembly Instructions

  CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.

  1. Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
  2. Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
  3. Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
  4. Position the upper segment of the pressure plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
  5. Begin by hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower pressure plate.
  6. Place the lower pressure plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper pressure plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.

• Size Guide

  

  *While designed for similar size foot compare to the Molchanovs Silicone Bifins, the SPORT Silicone Pockets are sized to be worn with dive socks instead of bare foot. For the same size the pockets are a little wider and a little longer.

  If you are wearing the Silicone Bifins bare foot:

  • you can get the SPORT Silicone Pockets in the same size but prepare to wear it with socks
  • Or get the SPORT Silicone Pockets one size smaller and wear it without socks, but also note that the SPORT Silicone Pockets are remarkably wider and depends on your foot width itmay not be stable laterally without socks

  If you are already using socks for the Silicone Bifins:

  • you will most likely need to get one size smaller for the SPORT Silicone Pockets to have a good fit with socks

  General guidance only, the Freedive Depot cannot be held responisble if the foot pockets does not fit. Please contact us for fitting or advice if unsure.
