Yeah. The XXL's are really huge. My size 11 rock boots feel kinda tight in the Turtles and feel kinda lose with the Jets. I decided to go with the Jets and it appears to be okay for now. I do have room on the sides of my boot but once I have the boot all the way into the pocket and place the spring straps on I don't feel any movement inside the Jet pocket. It could be moving, but I don't feel it. You can probably tell fron this post that it is still a concern and I wonder if I should have gone with the turtle. In other words, you still may be looking at a compromise even after you do get to try them on. At any rate, I do like the Jets over the Twin Jets hands down even with the funny sizing issue. Anyone wanna buy a pair of XL Twin Jets? lol.
 
I'm wearing size 12 trek boots, and I use turtles. XXL jets are really big and I decided against them. Even in the turtles, my boots are a little loose side to side, but it's not enough to bother me. XL jets are way too small to use. I have for diving tropical in wetsuit boots.

And spring straps are the only way to go.
 
I use a pair of XL Mares Plana Avantiquatro ABS fins with the Innovative Scuba Concepts spring fin straps for my DS boots. I have a Whites DS with their boots. Love the fins and straps.
