Or, as I suggested, nail them to a fence as a decoration. A messy one.

Not advisable since you are still exposing people to the products of
the fin degradation and run-off as the sun, wind and rain erode them.
Then you'd have a mess in the soil around the fence and black streak
running down it. Better off to toss them in the recycle bin where
people who know how to handle polymers can deal with it.

When I tossed the pair I bought in 1969, it was tough. But I got over it
by
going out and buying some long ones that had infinitely softer rubber, and
were way more comfortable than those old stiff ones.

Long/soft better than short/stiff...not sure where you're going with
this one...but check with the wife for a better opinion!

reply: My current wife does not dive. She has no knowledge of diving, but
probably could figure it out from simple math and physics that long fins
produce a different thrust than short ones. Most reasonable people come to
that same conclusion. I thought my Jet Fins were top of the line until I
wore some of those really long ones. They sure do a number on your thighs
and calves until you adjust your leg movements, and they sure keep your
tendency to bicycle down. But for ease of movement, and economy of motion,
particularly for spearfishing and free diving, I really liked them.
