As far as fins go, if I had been early enough to this thread, I probably would have written what Lamont did in his first post almost word for word. I use Turtles because I have a size 10.5 foot that will not fit into Jet XLs and is too small for the Jet XXL. I use Rock Boots (Whites Evo size 11) right now. If I were to switch to size 11 wet boots, I could jam them into the Jet XLs, but it would be a tad tight. Like Lamont, I have recently heard excellent reviews of the Hollis from people I trust.
