    Question Hollis F1 small size - please help :)

    Hello All!

    im planning to buy the Hollis F1 fins but I cant figure out which size I need to choose...
    Im a 37 french size (4.5 UK or 7 US women). I have warm water boots (3 or 5mm... I can't remember...)
    I plan to buy a drysuit, but I will take a laminated one, so I should not have huge boots with it.

    Im hesitating between the S and the M size...

    Any help very much welcomed

    Thanks!!!

    I wear a size 14 and bought the f-1's in an XXL based on their size chart...They were WAY to big !!!.. Sent them back and got the XL's and wear them w/7mm Pinnacle boots which fits just right...Hope that helps

    Hi j2s,

    Our size chart is a general measurement and much of it is based on thicker soled boots including drysuit boots. If you are wearing a thin soled neoprene boot going down a size is suggested. Not all boots are created equal :-)

    Hope the XL is working better for you.
