Where do Churchills fall on the comfort scale?

Bought some Churchill Makapu fins as my first set of fins. I was excited to get in the water so I might not have taken all the time needed at the store. I only tried them for a little while and they felt pretty heavy. Even with the socks the elastic around my ankles was getting kind of annoying. I was wondering if there are better options for comfort. It’s also entirely possible I just need to get stronger lol.
