Eric,
When I was younger and more coordinated, I used US Divers (Brand) Jet Fins when I float tubed...very light and they facilitated ease of movement (because of those "jet" holes in the fins that were the source of the name). Only problem is, they were oriented with the tip of the fins, down...and, they were long...getting them on over the stocking feet of waders or diver's booties (this was before fly shops sold tuber's booties)wasn't too difficult...it was just the getting around on land that was tough...which is why Force Fins were (are) such a hit...they curve up (because they were designed to create more resistance and build strength for swimmers who were training for swim meets) and are easier in which to walk (forward) so that the user doesn't have to back into the water...creating an opportunity for (not so innocent) by-standers to see interesting methods of getting wet from falling.
