Got it. Coming from a long history in the ski industry, we would usually adjust the pronation/suppanation with footbeds. I was unaware you could correct these issues through strength training. Thanks for the feedback.

In this case it's not really strength trianing: More like finning with correct form loads the (right muscles) and that 'placement of the load' reduces / eliminates pronation. I assume what you're talking about would be similar to a runner.. actually I HAD issues with pronation on my right foot (evidenced by wear patterns on my running shoes).. I also fixed this with strength training of the Hips (so yes, that is a thing too).

Do you feel that a pronation of the feet may or may not contribute to the fins hitting each other?

[@trainfreediving2772]

Usually they touch BECAUSE of pronation.. but the question / solution is why is there pronation (answered by the video).. My view is that if you can walk your ankles / feet are strong enough to fin without pronating, so therefor the pronation is a way of re-balancing another issue up the chain of the leg.
