I have size 15 shoes. I use XXL Jetfins with bungee straps.

@lexvil Many thanks, if you have the choice between the super-nova or the s-tek you would rather go to which one ?
Well, I modded my S Tek for better performance, between the two I feel the super nova is the better choice…but you buy S blades for the Super foot pocket so…

The S is a more comfortable flutter kicker because the extra down ° set on the blades for an easier kick but still the SN is much more versatile.
 
I love bungees. They are easier to pull than springs, last 1,000+ dives, and are cheap and easy to replace. I had a knot in the fins in the photo, but for the past several years I have been fastening the bungees with zip ties.
 
I'm on the lower end of this spectrum with US size 13s, but just wanted to pass along a tip. Whatever you end up getting, if they don't feel great, do try with a few different kinds of boots before you make a final decision. A lot of people overlook the impact of their boots. I have found that the overall thickness of the boot to be a big factor in fin comfort when you are into the XL range. Good luck!

Boot are the adapter, it’s funny how many people refuse to try different boots/booties plus having fins strapped way to tight

believe me when you have long feet it s difficult to have a wide variety too choose from anyway. So when i see a pair that fit me i just grab them. actually some size 13 doesn't fit me so i need to take size 14. limited choice just with the sizing.
