Has anyone tried, and had any success, cementing neoprene inside the footpockets of their fins (like Vipers)? I'm considering gluing 3mm neoprene on the top, inside, of a pair of duck feet in order to get away from wearing fin socks.
Any advice on a glue? Contact cement, aqua-seal or a neoprene cement? None of these adhesives seem to bond very permanently to the rubber of the fin. Thanks, Steve.

Viper used to or still does sell a pair of neoprene inserts and recommended using Super Glue ( I'm told make sure you DON'T use Crazy Glue ). I put some neoprene pieces around the top inside edge of my old Scott flippers years ago w/ Super Glue and it's still holding.
