So I got my drysuit yesterday. On my sizing sheet I marked I wear a size 12 shoe and my feet measure 11.5" so I believe I got XL turbo soles. The XL jetfins I use now are no where close to fitting. I picked up a pair of XXL jetfins today which I have to return because they are HUGE. I've read that the turtle fins are the perfect inbetween but no one local has them in stock. I'd like to order them with a set of xs scuba springs so I don't have to wait for two orders to get them setup.

I'm sure someone here wears an XXL turtle fin with a size 12 shoe, if so what size springs did you order?

Thanks!
 
The spring size always depends on your current shoe fitting. So I think nobody can help you properly with this problem - how long springs to use with a given fins. Springs may be shortened. This can solve your problem. But I would suggest you one more sollution - in Czech it is called "looser's springs" They are not so expensive and when you use them for some dives then you can measure them very accurately and order appropriate steel springs :).
