Help! Size 15EEEE feet!

[SpuddBrother]

I'd love to try Scuba, and I snorkel very casually, but I've never been able to find any fins that fit me. This has caused me to miss out on a lot of fun.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I was considering trying the IDI POWER FIN in size 15. I really don't care too much about comfort. If I can get them on, I will be too happy to notice!

My feet are almost 5" wide at one point, and about 13 1/2 inches long.

Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to the Barrier Reef in June.

Thanks,

Spudd

Do you even need fins???
But since you asked I would say that the IDI turtles should fit....

Brothers & Sisters of Underwater Propusion,
SpuddBrother,

Contact the manufacturers and challenge them to provide sizes for the endowed!

As an alternative you might consider: Get a pair of high-top basketball Sneakers, carve off the upper portion of one of the l-o-n-g bladed fins and affix the sneakers to the remaining fin with super glue and improvised velcro straps.

Comfort, security, thrust.

Another possibility is to use the foot pocket portion of a water ski and do the fin adaptation, (as above), to the exteded flipper. A palm fixe to keep the pocket in place. (Kind of like the ski boot onto a ski binding.

You'll have room to spare with the Turtles.
If you prefer a whimpier fin, Force fins will fit ya too.
It's finally nice finding someone that has a foot wider than mine. (not by much though)

That's actually what I did. I ordered the 3XL Force Fins. I imagine they might be too big, but I can always send em back for the 2XL.

Does anyone know a manufacturer of custom-sized athletic cups?

Got an old VW Beetle hood around here someplace.

ATOMICS .... biggest darn footpocket I've ever seen. I wear a 13EEE and use 5 mil booties and they still fit like a charm

Good Luck
