4E (Double Wide) Boots and Fins

[Kirsten78]

Hi!
I’ve been dating a really great guy and he is willing to try Scuba because I love it!

We have one stumbling block...He wears a size 13 4E shoe and I have zero idea where to start to even find a good fit in boots and fins. I have a wide foot too, but not that wide and I’ve struggled finding a good one for me too!

I've looked in Scubaboard and the only posts I’ve seen are 5-15 years old. I’m hoping maybe something new has made it to the market since then! Any help is appreciated!

I have 15’s but narrow, I think @tbone1004 has wide feet.

turtle fins in 2XL or 3XL, basically a wide foot version of the jetfin

unfortunately, the 2XL eddy fin is not really extra wide, just big and might be a bit too tall.

XS Scuba Turtles and Hollis F1 fins seem to have the biggest foot pockets..

You must look into fourth element, sizes are broad and bigger than the numbers suggest.

For wide boots look at Fourth Element and Scubapro, they both have some that fit wide feet.

My feet are 15 2E and getting wider..

In a full foot, I rented some “Snorkel Bob’s” in Hawaii years ago that actually fit! I bought a brand new pair from them and still use them.

The other day I ordered Scubapro Go travel fin in XX-Large, and a pair of Scubapro Go sport fins in X-Large. One apparently you wear boots with and the other you don’t. Maybe they will fit, I’ll see, and return one or both pair.

having non standard foot size is very difficult with fins. Good luck.

How cold is the water you'll be diving in? If it's warm enough, you can use some open-heel fins either barefoot, with a neoprene sock or a very minimal boot.

For example, my son also wears 13 wide, he's currently using these 2mm slip on booties Mares 2mm Equator Boot with XL Scubapro Go Sports fins.
