Got them, LOVE them, but now I got a drysuit and they don't fit over the booties anymore. Used hubby's split fins. Don't get me started...Swam as sleek, controlled and efficient as, say, a refrigerator. So now I'm looking for used Vipers, bigger than XS. Probably M, but would be looking at other sizes as well. Problem is, I can't find separate classifieds here for fins? :dork2: Would someone please point me in the right direction? Or have Vipers for me :)?
 
Do you find the vipers to be sized correctly? I am a size 12 and trying to decide between L or XL.

Fins, masks, and other "miscellaneous" gear can be found here: Classifieds: Other Gear and Multiple Items - ScubaBoard
You could also find several listings for Oceanic Viper fins on eBay.

*EDIT* I didn't notice the original post was from late August. :doh:

I'm a size 10, and I have the XL's. They fit me just fine whether I'm wearing 2mm or 6mm booties. Although, I don't think I'd be able to wear them with neoprene socks of any thickness.

I think they may fit a leeeettle on the the big side. I got women's size 7 1/2 feet, a pretty average size I think, but can't ever wear my XS Vipers without booties, way too big. Got R's now ('regular' - what do they have against 'M' all of a sudden, putting 'R' between S and L?!) for over the drysuit boots, which are about a size 9. Keep in mind the bigger sizes are not just bigger in the foot pocket, but considerably longer and wider in the blade, too. Takes quite a bit more power to move them, and I need to hold my legs further apart or they'll brush each other. Well, probably not much of a problem if you're tall and have longer legs. Me, I got penguin legs. But boy do those bigger ones go! Have taken to wearing the vipers for belly boating, too, now, and woooohoo, I can almost out-paddle my husbands' pontoon boat!
