Conversation Between Zak OHara and DiverDan000

    Hi Dan,

    The R stands for regular. Funny that he thought it should be right, as you would have two rights then... Any rate, much of the foot pocket sizing is going to depend on foot size, boot worn, etc.. So I know the raptor footpocket tends to run a small compared to our others, her foot 8 U.S. foot puts her in a mens 6 1/2. which is generally on a "tweener" between small and regular. So I say if her foot fits deep in the pocket, and not a "lot" of room on either side, or top meaning not sloppy, then it is fine. They should be fairly snug, not loose when tightened down. Maybe she is still growing some and this gives her more time with the fins anyway?

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Zak, I just purchased a pair of new small size Raptor fins for my daughter. They have the letter R on the base of the footpocket. The bloke that sold them to me said the R meant this was for the right foot. This does not sound right. My daughter takes a size female 7 UK, or 8 US, with her boot right in the footpocket, with the straps pulled tight. Are these a regular size?

    Thanks
    Dan
