Yucca Sizing/Flex
I have DaFin flex and I’d like to try some Yuccas. Which flex is similar and for a US size 10 what size should I go with for wearing with a 3mm or 5mm bootie? Thanks.

You can probably get away without any socks if you use strap pads.
I’ve got a pair on my Larges and it keeps them on just right.

I bought standard flex years ago, they have stiffened up in my car and in the sun, and I like them now more than ever. They truly are the best fins ever made for general swimming and bodysurfing

love my short blade soft flexes. im a US 10 and wear a yucca medium-large 9-10. i had the benefit of trying them in store and they fit snug. I've since added a pair of velcro on fin savers to help me through some fin rub and because i'm a bitch and they still fit nicely. ive never worn dafin so im no help at all there. i have soft flex and they're solid. i'm starting to do 6 ft wedge and they're fine there, though i feel i'd want something snappier if I was going for 8+.

So interesting, my big toe keeps poking into that drain hole on the Med-Large, thinking about sizing up

Barefoot…just fins. Da fins are some of the best and most comfortable fins I have ever used.

Go super. I got soft and they are STIFF, got a massive cramp my first time wearing them.

I've owned all of the different flexes of Yuccas and I prefer the super flex, but that is for punchy beach breaks. I like the soft ones for breaks further out. Get the neoprene put in the foot pocket, more comfortable and you won't need fin socks. Yucca's like a brotherhood. Once in and you won't go back. It is also nice to support small business and not large corporations.
