I've only tried a couple of different fins, so I can't really give you good advice...but you will get a lot of votes for the Apollo Bio Fins and for the Tusa Zooms.

This is another one of those highly personal questions. What works for 1 person many be terrible for another. Too many factors.

The most "comfortable" fin I can imagine using is probably the Apollo Bio-Fins.

I use Jet fins, however. They're perfectly comfortably, IMO, as long as they fit properly and you are using the kicks they are best suited for: The frog kick.

They are terrible at the standard flutter kick, but excel at the frog kick. That's why they're so popular with technical divers.

I believe it's the company that makes the mask that fits the best........

The Apollo Bio-Fin is second in my book to ForceFins. With ForceFins I don't even feel them on my feet, just hear the water rush by my ears.

I agree....you should try different one before you decide to buy a set. Some stores let you try in a pool so you should check out. Also, you could ask your dive buddies.
