Trouble finding the right fins with DUI rock boots

[cocothetigershark]

I'm having trouble finding the right fins with DUI rock boots. I wear women shoe size 8.5 for regular shoes. My drysuit came with DUI rock boots in size 7 (boots sizes are all men's).

I'm looking for a pair of GUE compliant fins for drysuit diving, so it's preferable for them to be on the heavier side.

Here's what I've tried. I can't slide my boots into size M Scubapro Jet fins or size M OMS Splitstream. The boots just get stuck halfway. I'm guessing it's because of the shape of the toe box, which is both a bit wide and tall. My boots can fit into the Size M Apeks RK3 (and RK3 HD) but then half of the boots hang in the back, and I get chaffing from the fin strap. I suppose I can move to a large RK3 HD -- would that be too heavy on my feet? I also don't want to get cramps lol. Alternatively, I could try a different style of boots? The thickest socks I wear are the weezle extreme undersuit boots.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

“L” jets

measure your boots width and height which may help determine what to try.

Jets sizing is just weird. With size 7 low profile Fusion boots, I could only get my boots halfway into the medium Jets. Had to go to the large. I ended up selling them as they were too heavy for my tweaky knees.

In comparison, I take a small/medium in Deep6 Eddys and a small in other fins.

Sounds like you need the size large Jets.

What are GUE compliant fins?

I have no idea what GUE compliant means, but XS Scuba Turtle Fins have some of the largest foot pockets I have experienced. Hollis F1 also comes to mind.

No idea but I’m sure if you find some they will loudly proclaim they are

Here is the Poseidon Trident -- chosen specifically, for its ample foot pocket -- to accommodate the use of mondo rock boots (both DUI and Scubapro) . . .
