Item Description

Competition Freediver Foot Pocket

Produced using varying stiffness compounds to achieve the ultimate in both comfort and transfer of energy, our Competition Freediver foot pocket fit a wide variety of bent (angled) blades with varying glue on rail profiles such as our Competition Freediver FG 20 degree fiberglass blades.

 

Short Rail vs Long (Standard) Rail Foot Pockets.

Choosing between short rail and standard long rail foot pockets depends on the specific needs and preferences of the diver.

Short rail foot pockets are ideal for freedivers and spearfishermen who prioritize agility, maneuverability, and efficiency. These foot pockets allow for greater flexibility and reactivity of the blades, making them perfect for quick, dynamic movements in the water, especially in tight spaces or when pursuing fast-moving targets. The reduced rubber content and ease of interchangeability also enhance overall performance and comfort during long dives.
 
On the other hand, standard long rail foot pockets are suited for divers who need more stability, support, and power. They provide robust energy transfer and a more controlled, steady kick, which can be beneficial for fighting big fish from the bottom, such as Cuberas, and other large fish. Ultimately, the decision comes down to the diver's preferences and needs. One great advantage of Mako foot pockets is that they do not require glue for installation, allowing you to easily interchange foot pockets between different sets of blades.

NOTE: Sold individually. Price above is for a single foot pocket - choose a pair of foot pockets from the dropdown menu if you want two!

NOTE: If you ever loose a fin, MAKO Spearguns will sell just one fin. Being so heavily invested in unmatched customer service, we are one of the only companies that offer this.

    I love these fins!

    Posted by Helen Rodney on Jul 2nd 2024

    The only issue I had was with the shipping. For some reason it took a week longer to get to me!

    Foot pocket

    Posted by Leah Smith on Jun 20th 2023

    Great! Easy removal and replacement. I bought a size too big originally and needed a smaller size and had no trouble replacing them.

    Great quality

    Posted by CJ on Jun 7th 2022

    I bought the competition free diver fins in 2016. Since then they’re been frequently left in my dinghy and on the deck of a boat under the Caribbean sun exposed to salt and UVs. I just had to replace the boots ripping in 2022. Definitely a great buy in terms of durability, longevity, and comfort. Great customer service too.

    Fin Pockets

    Posted by Tyler Knaut on Jan 29th 2021

    The fin pockets are comfortable. They came in a reasonable time out to Hawaii. They weren't difficult to install. Will be purchasing them for my next blades.

    Easy install!

    Posted by Chad Mathis on Jan 29th 2019

    I needed to replace the fin pockets on my Mako fiberglass fins with a smaller size. These were delivered quickly and after watching the installation video online I had no trouble although it was a little bit of work. I think I spent about 10 minutes on the first thin in about 5 on the 2nd and it turned out perfect. Thank you Mako!

    Hooray!

    Posted by John MOROZUMI on Jan 29th 2019

    After years of faithful service the foot pockets on my favorite Mako fins started to rip. I got the replacement foot pockets installed easily and didn't have to replace the entire fins. Yippee! I'm back in business!

    Foot Pockets that Fit

    Posted by Dr. John B. Griffith Jr on Nov 29th 2018

    Having to replace blades in footpockets can be tiresome...so being able to purchase comfortable, robust and affordable footpockets from Mako makes retrofitting blades to a better footpocket easier! The pockets are exceptionally ergonamic, have a proper angle and give a secure fit on the foot in current or in competition.

    Great products

    Posted by VINCENT LEBLANC on Jul 31st 2016

    I love my mako fins! Fishing around the oil platforms in the gulf they get beat up by all the barnicles encrusting the rig legs. With the abuse they take, they hold up better than any other pair of fins I have ever owned, and I have owned alot in my 17 years of diving. I will continue to buy Mako products for the quality and unmached customer service I get with every order. Thanks Brad and Dano for always being there to support my diving addiction with the best gear. Vincent LeBlanc
