I am trying to get a pair of this pin, and wonder what size? L or XL.

For drysuit, I have DUI turbo sole size 9. For wet suit, I use size 8 hard sole boot. I am currently using Aqualung Slingshot in Medium. With size 8 wet boot, it fits perfectly. With turbo sole 9, it is a bit on the tight side. I can still put it on and swim comfortable, but taking it off is a bit difficult. In face, last week, the rubber strap broke while I was under water. I swim for at least 10 minutes without noticing. So for OMS slipstream, should I go for L or XL?
 
I think xl may fit a bit loose on you. I wear xl slipstream, and I am 9.5 to 10 in sneakers.
In my size 10 deep see 6mm safe sole booties, it fits pretty good, just ever so slightly a tad on the loose side. If I wear a bootie with a thicker/hard sole, it becomes a bit small but I could still strap in. With my turbo sole + 4th element arctic sock, the xl slipstream fits perfect. Hope this helps.
 
I have ML Turbosoles on my TLS350 and wear size 9 on most wetsuit booties and have size L Slipstreams(great fins, by the way).
 
thank you, scuba_moron & rongoodmen. I will give a large a try. I use deep see safe sole size 8 boot when dive wet. If it is a tad loose for size 10, then it wil be too big for size 8 for sure. I think it will fit my medium turbosole as well if it fits a ML.

Eelnoraa,

I apologize for giving you the incorrect information.
My deep see booties are actually size 9 - just noticed it as I went diving yesterday.
