While they help swimmers build strength and go fast, the size of the fin and pressure at the Achilles tendon can limit ankle movement, creating a feel that can be very different from swimming without fins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">SlipFin Pro was created with a simple goal: make fin-assisted swimming feel more natural.<\/p>\n<p>With this unique innovation, FINIS has once again broken new ground in a shape-shifting new tech.<\/p>\n<h2>Strapless Design Built Around the Foot<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Featuring a patented strapless design, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finisswim.com\/slipfin-pro-launch?utm_source=SwimmingWorld\">SlipFin Pro slips over the top of the foot<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>without the need for a heel cup or straps.
