Fins that'll fit in my bag

[ppatin]

I'm looking for a pair of fins for someone with relatively large feet that can fit comfortably in a duffel bag. My old fins were Aqualung Caravelles, and to get them into the bag that I use for my gear I had to bend them. That ended up cracking the fins so now I need a replacement. I pulled out a tape measure and it looks like my old fins were 26 inches long so I need something shorter than that that'll fit over size 11 booties. Any recommendations? Cheaper & simpler is always better.

My Hollis F1s have been to five continents (along with a rebreather, so I wasn't exactly overwhelmed for space).

what does show size have to do with how long the fins are?
myself at size 9 and my husband at size 11, both have the same fins, but with different boot size and they are both 22" long

HOG tech 2 fins XL's will fit size 11 booties and overall length is about 22 inches. Actually 20.25

For some brands larger foot sizes seem to get you longer fins. My girlfriend has the same fins that I do, only significantly shorter. My feet/booties won't fit in them at all.

Aeris Accel's

+1 on the Aries Accel. See my post here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/fi...in-experiment-totally-unexpected-results.html

Hollis F2 are compact fins, are often referred to as travel fins, and have very large foot pockets. The foot pockets are well suited for rock boots and that sort of thing. I am looking into Aeris Accel because the foot pocket on my beloved F2 is just too large for my average-sized feet in tropical booties.

Ppatin, Size does matter.

Thanks for all the advice. I was going to go with the Aeris fins since they're the cheapest but the straps on them look a bit flimsy. Are they easy to replace if they break?
