  • @TheMermaidSewist
    @TheMermaidSewist 4 года назад +10

    One thing I have realized, having tried a lot of monofins, is that they make you swim slightly differently, and different movements are going to get you better results in different fins. This is something that I feel like is so hard to explain to other people, but is a really big piece of information. That is why I think watching swimming videos of people who have had a fin for a while is so valuable when choosing. Also I am getting a Minos and I am so pumped

    Confirmed monofins for big feeties from my own direct experience:
    I've gotten men to wear both the FinFun and the2tails monofin (but not super comfortably)
    The Hydra monofin from Mermaid Kat Shop fits a friend who has size 13 mens feet
    My boyfriend managed to fit into the Linden with size 16 mens feet!
    Also hey hi hello I personally recommend the Mahina to go nyoom. I wear both the turquoise and black with size 6.5 womens with a slightly wide foot and I sometimes wear socks with them to prevent blistering! Hope this helps anyone out!

    I'm fairly new to mermaiding and didn't really do any research for monofins, I just looked through and thought "Hey, I like the color and shape of the fluke on that one." So, I buy it, and lo and behold, it's everyone's favorite, I got the Luna.
    I haven't swam in it, though, I can't wait until quarantine is over so that I can.

    @mermaidjeanette4032 4 года назад +3

    I'll say my two cents. I have a mertailor fantasea fin 1 and I'll be honest I got far without a problem. I was also weird the moment I got in the water I was able to swim perfectly with it. Sometime you get lucky and get the right fin for yourself right off the bat.
    I also watched mermaid swim tutorial video's, and toke the video explanations to heart. If you have a certain monofin you want to swim in because you love the shape or you think will work with your feet the best. Watch youtube video's of people swimming in and pay attention to how their bodies moving.

It is also my second monofin and definitely love the propulsion. Also Love your reviews and your encouraging mood.

    @mermaidmersea7113 4 года назад +1

    I like my Finis shooter the best, I think fits me best with my swim socks and it’s fast ! I also have a Mahina, and the only problem I have is the ankle strap will cause blisters without scuba socks and they are very thick and then the monofin becomes too small, hard to get on ! I have very small feet so finding the right monofin for your foot size is very important !

  • @zeezymcsqueezy
    @zeezymcsqueezy 4 года назад +7

    Hey Mermaid Courtney! I just had enough money saved up to get my first tail and fin! But I was wondering about the Mahina, I have a wide 11 sized foot, does the Mahina support it?

    • @CourtneyMermaid
      @CourtneyMermaid  4 года назад +4

      That's a tough one for me to say for sure. I know they have a decent range of sizes, but many people complain about the comfort. If you were to get a large enough size, I would suggest leaving room in your sizing for socks.

    • @WraithBait
      @WraithBait 4 года назад

      I have size 11 wide feet and the mahina fits me,it is snug though so if you blister easily you might want socks to go with it as the ankle band is stiff.I have never had any issues with it but I know many do.Congratulations on getting your first tail💖

  • @dammitspawk
    @dammitspawk 4 года назад +1

    Hey thanks for attempting to answer my very long questions (@dammitspawk) I know it was very involved haha! I had a feeling your answer would be the Luna anyway XD but I’m looking forward to knowing any monofin design ideas you may have in the future! Also I totally get why the Luna is your fav, I bought one for myself two years ago on your recommendation and love it to bits. I also get bad cramping of my feet and calves and my solution has been mostly making sure I drink at least a litre of water before hitting the pool, eating a banana as well, and having a gatorade near by! The Luna is perfect for the pool and the lake, it’s an investment I’m very glad I made!

    Courtney, I abshellutely LOVE the Luna but I bought a FinFolk and need a fin that's appropriate for it, and can't do the Linden because it causes me massive amounts of pain in my feet (a friend let me use hers and I'm so glad i didn't have to buy it to find that out!). I have pretty tall/thick feet that are 9.5 triple wide (44 in eu for anyone reading this) and was wondering if the Minos would work because a review on the website says they're "narrow". Since you also have larger feet and the Luna is soooo good for both of us I thought you might know. (Also if you have a discount code for it that would be cool. 😎)

    • @CourtneyMermaid

      Ooo that's a tough one. I wonder if the Minos will be too long from the Finfolk flukes? That would be a question for them though since I don't have one of their tails. Unfortunately I don't have a discount code for the Minos. Good luck though and let me know how it goes!
