I may be a bit late in replying, but for future searchers sake, I wear mens 10.5 or 11 sneakers and with 3mm booties my Go Sports are size M.

I have the Eddie fin and had a look at the Go Sport. The Eddie fin has a much better strap as it's adjustable to three positions and much more secure than the Go Sport. The latter has a bungee non adjustable and is held by a metal crimp which looks like it could be a failure point, for if it slips you'll lose your fin. The Eddie has the same strap as the Hollis F1.
I agree with you and if not in this thread, in several others have stated the same thing. The Eddie Flipper has a better and more robust strap.I have the Eddie fin and had a look at the Go Sport.

Which fins again? We’ve been discussing several.Ok, update as I received fins today.
With my size 12 (US) feet, the size large fits about perfect with 3mm Bare short booties, with a thin rubber sole. And They also fit my 7mm booties that have thicker soles to them that wrap up around the sides.
Might be abit snug with those, would have to try them out in the water to be sure, but I have larger cold water fins (Scubapro Jet Sports) that I likely would use here in cold water anyway.

You and I have the same size foot (12). In SP Go Travel (not Sport) , I wear XXL with 2 mm bootie. In Deep6 Eddy, Large in 3 mm bootie. Go figure.
I would think with a wide foot and thick soles, you may well be into large territory. I don't find them at all tight with size 12 3mm boots, with my 7mm with a "medium" thick sole, they are getting about as snug as I want them, but haven't tried them in the water with them (bought these mainly for travel).After reading all these comments, I have no idea what to think now LOL. Anyone out there have a size 9 thick soled boot and wide feet? According to the size chart, I should be at the border of medium and large, but I assumed with wider feet and heavier duty boots, I would size up. Then I see people with 12 inch feet wearing large and second guess my logic.
