Hey I had the same problem you. My 11 1/2 wide high arch feet in a dry suit didnt fit anything. I use Turtle fins which are a little big but I use socks and booties, they might fit snug with crockboots but I am not real interested. Also try a Farrallon XL, if you can find them, they fit me perfect. Both are similar propulsion, design, weight etc to Jet fins. If you find any other substitutes please forward. >From: Simon L Hartley < shartley@sc*.ed*.au*> >To: techdiver@aquanaut.com >Subject: Bigger fins?
