I just bought a pair of Oceanic V12's and was amazed to find that while my foot/boot size is 9 (US) the 'regular' size (bought in Asia) fin pocket was pretty loose around the top and sides of the foot, so had to settle for the 'small' fin which fit pretty snugly.

1) I am 5"11 and weigh 176 pounds (1.80m and 80kg), and have pretty wide feet. Does anyone out there find the same problem when choosing this, or other, fins??

2) Also, is the size/length of the fin supposed to be proportionate to body size? Cos if that's the case I might be 'underpowered'!
