I've just got a pair of pros I use for tropical diving. Kept up with my dad (who is a much better swimmer than I) wearing my old full foot Mares Avanti's...Scuba magazine's fastest fin in 2007. Yeah, right.
While I have your ear Blair, I did have a bit of a problem getting them to fit. I got an XL and I have a wide foot (11 EE). I couldn't find a pair of soft soled boots that would fit in the fin pocket so I ended up layering a tube sock, a 3mm neoprene sock, and another 3mm neoprene sock. This seemed to fill the footpocket nicely, but is just kind of a pain.
Have you seen this problem before and can you suggest a pair of boots or any other solution that might help me out. Comfort instep perhaps?
Thanks again.
Burt
