Dry suit boots fit

The only way to check properly is to go to your local dive shop and check it out.

This is why buying wearable gear online is a pain in the A$$

The only reason I have the fins I own today (RK3) is because I tried them. The owner of the shop had a set that he let me try. I bought them on the spot. I have loaned them to several people I know and they bought a set after trying them. The key, you have to try them. I might be responsible for selling more then the owner of the shop. I have found that fins are more then just size, there is a fit to them as well. Just because it is the right size, it may not be the right fit.

So got a dry suit, I think I may have gotten the boots size wrong.

Not sure how I should determine the correct size.

Here is a pic where I put my thumb in front of my toes, if that helps. I only put two pair of cotton socks on the top of each other.

Actually looking at the pic, I think it is almost surely too large.

What undersuit are you using? Does it come with fleece or thinsulte socks? I typically use a pair of undersuit socks plus one or two pairs of typical thin cotton socks maybe some walking socks (as well as the undersuit ones). Partly that depends on the fins I am using.

So I spent a lot of time trying stuff at my two local diving shops.

The undersuit has no socks attached to it. I got separate socks.

I have a good fit when I use:
- wool socks size 43
- some diving socks that I wear over them, they are a bit loose
- then I wear my drysuit which has neoprene feet.
- then my rockboots (size L)
- once I have done this, I fit snugly a XXL Jet Fin

Going to dive on the 29th so I’ll let you know guys how it goes
