Stupid question -- do SP jets come in a size smaller than Med?

My LDS doesn't carry the plain jet fins . . . just the twins. My search of the internet (where admittedly not much SP gear is available) just shows M - XXL. Turtles seem to come in only one size, which is oversize foot pocket. I don't have oversize feet. I'm diving Twin Jets in size small, and am worried about whether I can get a Jet or Turtle type fin to fit my feet.
 
Medium is the smallest - however my neighbors daughters, who both wear size 5 shoes use the mediums with 3mil boots. So even if you wear a size 4 shoe (US mens) you should be able to wear a thick 7mil boot and use them.

If it helps check out http://www.kidspot.org/personal/scuba for a sizing chart I've been working on.

Aloha, and have fun with your Jets!

my gf uses medium and its fine shes a size 8. although we have another lady friend who uses the same medium and shes a 5
 
Tim, thanks, your page is exactly what I was looking for. I'm diving a Mobby's drysuit (unfortunately not among the listed ones!) and using SP Twin Jets in size small at present.
 
Let me know how they work out and I'll add a listing for Mobby :wink:

and if you want to include spring strap size I'm going to add a chart for them as well.

Aloha, Tim
 
I have the small size fin that is almost identical SP jet fin.
It is Aqua Lung Capri fin that is being sold in Japan.

AquaLung Mini Capri Fins
It has been my sister’s fin, but she can’t dive anymore because of the new baby.
Women’s boot size: 6 and 6 1/2.
It was made in Japan, not China. She got this fin in Japan.
Color: black
Currently, it is being sold on AquaLung Japan (MSRP: $130);

Tim is spot on, the medium is quite ‘small’. I was worried about mediums being too big, and nabbed a pair from eBay to try. Last weekend I had a chance to take them to water, and I could barely squeeze my feet into them – and I would not have been able to if I had hard sole boots. I don’t know if this used pair was particularly ‘collapsed’ but the pocket was/is very low, my arches were whining. I need XS and S in most fins, so I was a bit surprised, no way will I be able to use M with proper boots. The pocket has plenty of extra length and width is OK too but I will have to find a shop to see if Ls will be rotating around my ankles.

… but I am a pagan… (and not going for DIR-F right now like some other people here…), so I’d like to know is there any reasonable JetFin copycat that comes in COLOR, like BRIGHT color?? (Well, not just pink though). I am against black fins in principle! Maybe copies would have a bit higher foot pockets too.

Btw – what’s this fuzz about first time with JetFins and them feeling odd/needing time to adjust. I’ve never touched a pair and they felt great from the first go! Snappee…
 
I think my cats could use the size Mediums.

I wear a size 9 wetsuit bootie with XL jets :wink:
