Hi everyone! (maybe a stupid question, and if so, I aplogize ahead of time)

How do I know which size boots to get? Are the sizes in men's sizes? Most of the descriptions say something like sizes 4-16. I am a bit confused and would greatly appreciate any assistance. LOL Thanks so much,

Victoria
 
My experience has been that they are generally in mens sizes.

It sounds like you're wanting to get it through mail order. If you're feet are near a edge on the sizing chart, you're well advised to try them on. The best fit for me can vary depending on who the manufacturer is. The size number doesn't always turn out to be the same. Also, in a sense your boot is an important part of getting the right fit with your chosen fin. You'll want to be sure the fin you want will fit well when wearing whatever boots you buy. If you haven't decided on a fin yet, I'd suggest you do that first, then pick out a boot.
 
Ordered a womens suit for my wife, the the boots were HUGE....

Silly me... why would I think to order boots for a womens suit in men's sizes...

:D
 
Go to your LDS, and try them on.
Find the size thats fits , then say to the in a polite tone, I am sorry these boots are too expensive, I will be ordering them online. If you are lucky the LDS will match the price and keep your business
