I've got my turtles for my drysuit and I love them (might replace them with some XXL Jets though). Now I need some jet-style fins for when I'm diving wet. The XL jets have too narrow a foot pocket and the pocket isn't quite deep enough. Anything out there between an XL jet and a Turtle?
 
sorry - nothing between the XL and Turtle. Though with size 14, you can probably use the Turtles.

I wear Turtles when diving with size 14 converse tennis shoes and XXL Jets when wearing lug sole size 13 wetsuit boots... XXL Jets are larger than the turtles by a bit.

If it helps, here's a list I've been working on.

Thats' what I was afraid of... the turtles are way to big for my wetsuit boots... maybe I should just start wearing my rockboots with a neoprene sock when I dive wet.
 
FWIW, I also have size 14 feet. I use a Harvey's 5mm hardsole boot with large original USD Blades. Works very well for me.

Good Luck!
 
I've got a set of Mares Avanti's (circa 1995) that fit me just fine when I'm diving wet, I just notice I have to do a lot more kicking then the rest of my team to move my tanks through the water.
 
you could also pick up a pair of High-Tide Ranger boots in 4XL or 5XL and use them with XXL Jets. They work nicely together. If you can't find them contact Mar-vel in New Jersey. http://www.mar-vel.com as they sell them - really nice lug sole 6.5mil wetboots.
