Big Fins for Rock Boots

[CRDiver]

Bought my first drysuit from a LDS. Love it, but I wear a size 15 Rock Boot... Even the Turtle Fin isn't a 100% fit. Any suggestions? Thanks.

They just came out with size XXL Jetfins...might want to give them a shot, but I have never seen them in person so I can't compare to the Turtles.

Thanks for the idea... my only problem is I'm looking for a more flexible fin since 80% of my diving is open water and I mostly use a flutter/modified flutter kick. I would bet the 3XL Force Fins would fit, but I dove a pair of 2XL's with my wetsuit once; they were a little small, but I just couldn't figure them out and my air consumption shot up.

I have never tried them, but someone mentioned to me that the twin jets have a pretty nice sized foot pocket on them. What about some of the Mares Quattro line? Do they make an XXL?

Someone just mentioned on another board that the XXL Jets are BIGGER than the Turtle fins...
Also, I dont believe that Mares makes a XXL fin...

However, XL Avanti's are pretty big. You got big fricken feet!!! GOod Luck, or chop off your toes...

The Quattros are pretty big too... They fit my heavy 7mm wetsuit boot perfectly... I see Leisure Pro is trying to get rid of the OMS Thrust fins for $75, which are supposedly good to size 15. I've never heard of anyone owning them, but I might have to order a pair just to check the size... Man, if I only had webbed feet, this whole problem would be solved!

Well, Im starting to think with size 15 shoes, I dont think you need fins!!!

I solved my problem by spraying the inside foot pocket with silicone and letting it dry. Then I submerged the foot pocket in a large pot of boiling water and held it there till it softened. Took it out of the hot water and jammed my drysuit boot into the foot pocket and let the fin cool. Now, the fit is perfect and the fins feel like extensions of my legs. I keep the foot pocket sprayed with silicone and putting them on is effortless. One thing. If you're not going to have your foot in the drysuit boot, stuff the boot with towels or something so it is rigid before starting the 'fin molding' process. Bill.

Mares does not make XXL fins or I would have some.
