I need your help! I just picked up a pair of Henderson aqua-lock 7mm boots in a size 13 that I like but now need to find a fin that will accept them. Most fins out there have an XL that would work with a normal boot but the Henderson has a massive sole. I have some split fin Aeres that I love and they work fine with my 5mm Scubapro deck soled boots. Any other "big foots" out there who can give me some ideas? Thanks for the help.
 
I recommend you try some Scubapro Jetfins. I have jets in both XL and XXL. The XL pair is just right with my size 12 feet and 6.5 mm soft sole boots. But with the XXL pair, I have plenty of room for rock boots.

^ this. Jetfins are the largest foot pocket of just about any fin around. Get ready to kick with all your might though :)
 
Turtles and Hollis F1 work well with my 13 Rockboots (which supposedly are "big").
 
From experience having used all of these, Scubapro jets, oms slipstreams and Hollis F1's.
 
I use OMS Slipstreams XXL. I wears the same size of boot as you do, and the XXL fit fine with my rock boots, and a little big with Scubapro booties.
 
I wear a size 14 and use the Hollis F-1's [XL, not the XXL....The XXL's are huge]...The XL's fit just right......

I too had to go down to XL with 13 Rocks.....

Out of the three, (Jet, Slipstream and Hollis) which did you prefer?

F-1's
 
I found that the Aqualung Slingshot fin and the Mares Avanti Quatro had big enough foot pockets. I went with the Mares which fit perfectly with the Aqua-lock 13s. Thanks everyone for the replies and advice.
