Another Bio Fin Fit Question

Hi,
I have a 9.5 shoe size and will be wearing 3mm booties most of the time. Should I go with medium or large bio fins? Thanks. Gary

.....you need to try for fit in person at the dive shop, WITH the exact same booties you plan on diving with...to avoid making a 'stupid' mistake.

scubafanatic-has good advice.

Your size mens 9.5 shoe with a 3mm boot should work well with a medium bio-fin.

I wear a size 9 5mm wetsuit boot (hard-soled) and have size large bio fins with the spring straps. These fins seem to fit perfect for me and they also fit my attached drysuit boots. If you go with the med you may be limiting yourself in the future with thicker boots.

I wear a size 9.5 mens shoe but I have a wide foot (4E) and a high instep. I originally tried the medium but had to switch to the large.
