Ok so i have a paid of picasso team fins and they cane my feet after even half an hour with them on. I have short wide feet.

Is there a foot pocket better suited to my dodgy feet or am i stuck with some discomfort...?

cheers

If the pockets are rubbing the tops of the toes glue a piece of neoprene wet suit to inside of booties across top of toes - works a treat and no taping; if that is the problem!

No booties. They make it worse. I have a size 40-42 which is the right length it's just a tight squeeze across the top of my foot. Just wondering if there are fins with fatter foot pockets.....

Do yourself a favor. Get some bigger pockets and wear dive socks to make them fit. 2,3 or 5mm
I use 46-48 pockets with 5mm socks. the next size down pocket is too tight with no socks.

I hade the same problem. It was my foot pockets gently squeezing the side of my feet, in time it resulted in unbearable pain much like a cramp. Easily fixed with bigger pockets.
Cheers Stephen.

Been there with my beuchats, definitely too small width wise. I found Picasso carbons to be a perfect fit in the same size. Much better for a wider foot. Booties are a must!

yeah booties are your first step. will help with the rubbing and possibly may fix the pain. head down to legendary and they will be able to correctly fit you up with some fins/new pockets and booties.
