I’m looking to get a pair of Jet’s for diving dry. I have Santi flex sole 10-11 boots. I tried a pair with spring straps that I’m almost certain were XXL. What I’m questioning is I also have Hollis F1 LT’s and Eddie’s but both of those the XL fits fine. I can’t find the Jets with spring straps locally so am hesitant to order. Do Jets (with spring straps) generally run smaller than other brands ?
 
Jets sizing is all sorts of messed up.

For example, I take size XS wet suit booties. 7 in my old Fusion drysuit boots. With those boots I wore the following - Atomic fins were a small. Deep6 fins were small/medium. Jets? Large.
 
Jets are odd but really so are most others but the Jets have short pockets. I wear size 15 shoes/rock boots and use xxl Jets, I have the older ones and newer ones, older xxl are a bit looser but the newer fit fine. Best bet is to try them on or find the thread somewhere that a few of us posted measurements. Being rubber they do stretch a bit in the pocket to fit differing boots.
 
Pocket depth top 195mm
Pocket depth bottom 225mm

Mouth width 110mm
Mouth height 85mm

Average width 110mm
Average height 65mm
Bulbous width 125mm

So with an extra extra large Scubapro bootee into an XXL jetfin with the booties sticking out the back almost four inches flopping around on less than 2/3 of your foot and at 3.5# each pushing who knows how much weight in water then why
 
If the Hollis LTs fit, why not just get a pair of F1s for your drysuit diving? The Hollis foot pockets are a lot nicer than those on the Jets.
 
So long as you have semi rigid soles they are great performers
