Hi guys,

I'm looking for the best hard sole boot that won't increase the boot size too much. I would much prefer to use my old fins without having to change them cus my foot got too big.

Any recommendations? I wear a US size 9.5w and with 5mm soft sole boot I can barely squeeze into a L jet fin.

My wife, daughter and I use these for warm water diving.

We use these in colder water.

They have arch support and a good hard sole.

I have been using these boots since 2004 and I am still using the original pair of each. My dive total is 127 dives and it is split between cold water(New England, Pennsylvania etc. & Caribbean diving on vacation.

I switched from ScubaPro to Atomic fins in the process but I made sure I tried the new Atomic fins with the boots I already owned.

I would suggest trying the boots on with your existing fins to make sure they fit.
 
ronbeau,

Thanks for the info, I did consider the seasoft but they look quite thick at the bottom of sole. Do you know roughly how tall they are on the inside cus if they are more than 1.5 cm thick I'm never going to fit them into my fins.
