I am looking for affirmation before I return the fins I just purchased. I just ordered a set of Apeks RK3 Fins in the Super Size. I am a Size 12 foot and all the sizing charts indicated that the Super is the size I needed. I read some reviews that said they run a little small and go larger size if in doubt. Well, I put on my Aqula Lung boots and when I put my foot in the spring strap is loose. It stays on my heal but there is no tension at all. If I really push my foot forward there is space between the heal and strap. If I put them on and wiggle my foot it settles and the strap lightly rests against my heal. My only concern is if I return them and go with a large it may be too tight? Any thoughts? Should I stay with the Super? Unfortunately there are no local dealers where I can try them on so its online or nothing.

Thanks for any help.

You need a large, I have the same size foot you do, get size large.
