I wear a size 10 in the instadry boot, and purchased a size M fin. The fin pocket fits perfectly, however the spring strap is a bit tight. I understand the springs are available in 2 different lengths. I guess my question would be, do the medium fins come stock with the shorter of the 2 springs? If so I'm thinking I may have to swap them out for the longer springs. Or do the springs perhaps "relax" a bit after use?
If anyone has any information on this I'd very much appreciate it.
Thankyou,

I'm stunned that you're fitting a size 10 instadry bootie into a size M bio-fin.
I wear size 9 instadry booties (7mm... is that the difference?) into size LL bio fins... I tried size L and got foot cramps almost immediately. The size LL fins fit perfectly.
The springs do not relax... that would defeat the point of figuring out the right size by trying it on. If they're too tight, you need a different size spring strap installed. If you bought it at ScubaToys, they might be willing to help you, else you may have to buy a new, larger set of Apollo spring straps and install those instead.
