I have done a search and seen a lot of people talking about stretching the foot pockets but have yet to see if anyone has accomplished it or not.

I really like my Jets (XL) but they are just a bit to small for my rock boots. I have the Whites (10's) and Altera's (10's) neither of which fits the pockets. The fins feel sloppy because I can only get my part way into the pocket. I have Slipstreams (XL) also but they are no better for fit. I have heard the XXL slips will work and the Turtles but I really like the weight of the Jets for trim.

I am going to try to put some holes in the pockets and use silicon to see if I can get a little further in the pocket with out too much effort, if not I will have to attempt som sort of stretch before I order another pair of fins that will not work.

Regards
