Anyone know how to shrink rubber, my TurtleFin Foot Pocket is too big?

Jackknife once bubbled...
I use Seasoft Boots, they are like tennis shoes. Awesome booty's. I do a lot of surf/rock entries and love these when stepping on a rock. Those thin booties suck, and will never use them for that reason.

Because of this, my feet and boot will not fit in an XL pair of Jet fins, I like Jet Fins but they will not fit my feet with my boots on. Turtle fins are nice, but IDI needs to get it together, I don't see why they can't make an XL pair of Turtles that would may a lot of people happy.

So you are somewhere in the middle with the Jet being too small but the Turtle being too big... I think I would switch booties to either something large enough to fit the turtles (rockboots with a neoprene sock?) or something smaller to fit the jets (99% of wetsuit booties out there).

You could try these http://www.scubapro.com/consumer/products/divewear/boots/boots.html

I borrowed a pair and they where huge. I couldn't fit them in my XL Jets.

Hi Lucid,


FYI, those are the boots I'm talkin' bout

Turtle fins origonally came with custom inserts to size the fin to your foot.

I never used mine. They are mint.
They are size 11-13.

They are yours for the price of shipping.

PM me if your interested.

Myabe its time to start READING the posts before answering them.

Anyway, as was mentioned in some other posts, booties come in very different sizes and shapes. Getting a heavier style bootie might help somewhat.

I am using a bootie (Sepa. you probably don't have it in the US) that have a very thick sole, which creates a very tall profile, thus filling the foot pocket better.

You might want to try different types of booties. One might be right for your foot as well as for the fin.

I ended up getting a pair of XL Twin Jets - the pocket size is just right. Now only if ScubaPro would make JetFins with the same style pocket!

Turtle fins have custom inserts?!?

I just thought that this post and the one on turtles being too small should be right next to each other

Is there any way a moderator can forever lock theas two togther??:bonk:
