Turtles vs XL jet fins

[Dryglove]

I wear a size xxl(11) trek boot and am looking for a fin to fit them.I have a pair of apollo split fins but want a traditional set too for maneuverability.I have tried a set of turtles and they fit with no problem.I noticed there is a nice set of xl jet fins on ebay with spring straps.How are the foot pockets of the jet fins compared to the turtles and will they fit my drysuit boot.Thanks for any input!!

They aren't nearly as big. I wear a size 11 shoe and I wear the XL jets with my wet suit booties. It takes the Turtles to get over my dry suit boots. Someone told me the Jets were designed to be worn without booties originally so they run pretty small compared to other fins.

Good luck

I bought the xl jet fins and passed them on to a friend, then bought the turtles. Its about a half inch difference in foot pocket size. Very nice to have the big ones now.
