I have a similar opinion. I used dive fins for years since I already had them from diving and they do work really well. A couple years ago I bought a pair of force fins and in my opinion, they are much lighter and easier to get around in out of the water. I wear them over my scuba booties. Never had an issue with them falling off and sinking either. I have to go along with the muscle pain as well. After a lot of hours on the lake with dive fins, my legs hurt. Never had that problem with the force fins. Pain vs. $$$ = force fins! Maybe it's an age issue, but that's okay.
I bought a kayak about 1-1/2 years ago and found that I like that even better on the lakes. No waders. No fins. Just a pair of shorts and my scuba booties. Love it!
I even put my flies & gear in a fanny pack that I carry inside the kayak .... no vest! And I get around 10 times faster than any float tube to different locations on the lake. Now that's comfort!
