SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets + SPORT Bifins 3 Fiberglass Blades
These instructions are for assembling the SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets to the SPORT Bifins 3 Fiberglass Blade.Materials required for assembly
- Molchanovs left and right fiberglass blades
- Left and right SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets
- 2 screws for each foot pocket (4 total)
- Upper and lower mounting plates
- Phillips head screwdriver
Assembly instructions
- Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
- Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
- Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
- Position the upper mounting plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
- Begin hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower mounting plate.
- Place the lower mounting plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper mounting plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.
- CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.
Foot pocket width
There are two widths to choose from:
Wide
‘Wide’ is designed to be wider and more roomy for your feet, allowing you to wear diving socks with the foot pockets. They have a wider fit than the foot pockets on our original CORE Silicone Bifins.
Choose Wide if:
- You plan to wear diving socks
- You have wide feet
- You prefer a roomier fit
Standard
‘Standard’ foot pockets are more narrow than ‘Wide’ foot pockets and are designed to be worn with bare feet.
Choose Standard if:
- You prefer a snug, barefoot feel
- You have narrow to average width feet
Both widths have the same length for each size. Please refer to the size charts below to find your ideal size in your preferred width.
