So, I currently own a pair of F1 Yellow-Tips in size "regular", which fit my BARE 7mm wet-boots (USA-9) quite well. My Mares drysuit boots are a "29-11-45", which I assume means size USA-11.
Anyway, the question I have is this: What size Yellow-Tip do I need for my drysuit? I'd like to order a second pair, but I'm not sure if I need XL or XXL.
Normally, I'd go try them on and purchase from my LDS, which I totally support. However, I live in Germany where the selection is rather limited. I understand that ScubaToys has an excellent return/exchange policy, but the return shipping is expensive, and it sucks to have to wait an additional 4 weeks for a silly mistake. I'd rather just order the right size from the beginning.
Any thoughts?
Two side questions:
I'd also like to know the recommended amount of stretch the spring should exhibit when worn, as well as how far up the sole of my boot the foot plate on the fin should sit?
Thanks!
