The first split fin design from Mares, the Raptor blends natural rubber rails with a composite blade for a lightweight, smooth-flexing kick. Mares recently upgraded the fin with new, easier-to-use ABS+ cam buckles but didn't raise the price. Can't beat that.

Mares Raptor Open Heel Split Fin Dive Fins Open Heel Foot Pockets
The open heel foot pocket is designed to accommodate dive boots with a sole, and to offer excellent adherence between the boot and the foot pocket in order to transfer all the force exerted by the leg to the blade, without sacrificing yield yet still ensuring superior comfort. The lower section of the foot pocket is longer, in order to better transfer power to the blade and minimize the risk of cramping. In addition, the inside of the foot-pocket features internal ribbing to improve fit and stiffen the sole.
