I am planning to buy a set of adjustable strap fins. Normally I wear a size 14 shoe, but I should probably go a size larger to accommodate booties. Any recommendations on where to buy extra large size fins and what make and model. By the way, the one place that I did a quick search had Extra Large sizes going up to 13, but not larger.
 
I only have "dainty" Size 13 feet, but those plus rock boots leave a large footprint :D

XXL Hollis F1's (Batfins) with spring-straps work great for me
 
Force Fins make a set that you can wear with USGI Combat Boots.
 
I wear size 13, and had to adjust my XL Hollis F2's to the smaller size for the springs. Hollis have a large footwell to accommodate large boots, I have also had success with Mares XL sized fins.
 
my 13 Rock Boots are "sloppy" in my F-1's. With a large foot, and assuming diving wet, it might be an option to wear a neoprene sock and a drysuit boot like Rockboots...... There are times I do this.

Turtles run big foot pockets too...
 
Depending on the shoe brand I wear a 14-15 and have found that most of the XL fins all work just fine as long as you put some spring straps on them.


Sure the heel of my foot is going to stick out a bit past the pocket but that is expected anyways.
