I have been struggling to find a foot pocket that works with what I thought were my generic men's size 10 3mm booties. Latest fail were the oceanic accels. The pocket is built very tall, as if for a big thick boot, which seems weird for a purported travel fin. Also a very stiff pocket. Previously tried mares superchannels, mares avantis, even a Rob Allen full-foot freedive fin (with fin keepers and sock). Does anyone make a comfortable foot pocket designed for thin, low profile booties on a fin that will produce a decent frog kick? Not pushing doubles, a drysuit, or in extreme current. Just relaxed, warm water diving. Sadly, there's no LDS within 100s of miles of me, so have to order online.
 
I wear size 43 EU 3mm booties, the Deep 6 eddy fins are the most comfortable foot pockets I have ever used in nearly 20 years of diving.

I agree with rainpilot that the deep6 are extremely comfortable. I don't know if they would be for a narrow/skinny foot. I would still try them though.
