Since I have to buy them by = mail, I wrote to a dealer in order to determine what size I should order = to fit my U.S. size 13 feet and a dry suit. This is the response I got: =20 "I would recommend the Turtle Fin if your feet are size 13 and you are = wearing a drysuit. The Jet fin only comes in 2 sizes and the XL is barely big enough for = a size 12 in a drysuit. The possible exception is if you are wearinga DUI suit with those tiny = boots, but even then a 13 is going to possibly not fit into an XL jet." =20 What is your evaluation of Turtle Fins? Are Turtle Fins DIR and can = they be fit with spring heel straps, or is there a better alternative. =20 Thank you.
