Standard Molchanovs Hand-Built Foot Pocket Sizing


Please note: If you have a noticeable size difference between each foot, wider feet, or especially high or low arches, we suggest ordering custom foot pockets. Follow the ‘Custom Hand-Built Foot Pocket Measurement Guide’ guide below to measure your feet correctly.

Custom Hand-Built Foot Pocket Measurement Guide



Custom Foot Pocket Fit Guide
The desired fit determines the tightness of the foot pockets. Three options are available:

Comfortable: Allows more space inside of the foot pockets for the feet. The feet will feel like they are on the verge of movement, but will not actually have movement since any friction between the feet and foot pockets will cause blisters. Comfortable for about 2 hours of wear.

Normal: More comfortable compared to the Tight fit. There is slightly more space inside for the feet, but not enough space for extra movement. Allows for about 20 - 50 minutes of wear.

Tight: Specifically designed for performance, which means that the fit is especially tight. This gives you the best control over the blade as the feet are very compressed with no space for any extra movement inside of the foot pocket. Suitable for about 10 - 30 minutes of wear.

Please note: The maximum time a freediver can wear foot pockets (especially Tight fit) depends on their level of experience and how flexible their feet are. If you would like to improve your foot flexibility, watch this video.

Choosing Bifin Blade Stiffness

Blade stiffness depends on your height, weight, technique, experience, training goals, and blade size. Below are general tips on how to choose the right stiffness. If you are not sure, e-mail info@molchanovs.com with a video attached of one of your dives for a recommendation.

Soft: Suitable for smaller and lighter freedivers, freedivers with less lower-body strength, and also for experienced freedivers with excellent ankle-driven technique. Softer blades are more economic in terms of energy consumption, although it mostly remains a preference among freedivers with more strength whether to choose a soft or medium stiffness.

Choose Soft stiffness if:

  • You’re a smaller and/or lighter freediver with less lower-body strength
  • You dive in little to no current and with no extra gear (underwater camera, spearfishing equipment, thick wetsuit, etc.)
  • You use a more ankle-driven technique and want efficiency

Medium: Suitable for larger and heavier freedivers, freedivers with more lower-body strength, or for freedivers who need more power.

Choose Medium stiffness if:

  • You’re larger and/or heavier and have lower-body strength or need more power
  • You’re unsure whether to choose soft or medium fins
  • You’re a safety diver, underwater photographer, or spearfisher
  • You dive with extra gear

Introducing the most lightweight shorties in our bifin lineup–the PRO Short Bifins 3 Carbon. Designed for instructors, underwater photographers, shorter freedivers, and frequent travelers who want fins for recreational fun diving. The PRO Short Bifins 3 Carbon feature a lightweight and responsive short carbon blade that keeps kicks springy and effortless. Paired with Molchanovs hand-built foot pockets for unmatched comfort and weightlessness both in and out of the water.

Comfortable hand-built foot pockets
While most foot pockets are created from a mold in a factory, our PRO foot pockets, with their original pointed design, are assembled by hand from different pieces of rubber and soft micropore. This makes them ultra-comfortable and gentle on your feet!

Compact size
A smaller blade allows you to move more easily in water, making these shorties ideal for instructor work, underwater photography, fun divers, and shorter freedivers.

Updated carbon blade
100% premium carbon fiber blades feel featherlight in the water and give you more spring with each kick. Now with an updated blade-layering pattern and size-graded stiffness to match blade length with resistance–soft blades are a little shorter for maneuverability, while stiffer blades are longer for more balanced propulsion.

Effortless travel
Finally, a pair of bifins that fits into your average-sized check-in luggage or backpack! No disassembly is required, making this pair of shorties a true travel companion.

Minimalistic design
The new design keeps the signature Molchanovs minimalism and style–a shorter and thicker M-stripe design is paired with simple ‘molchanovs’ text on the back of the blades. Choose from 5 vibrant accent colors on a black blade.
