guys I am delighted with the things I bought. everything fit me perfect, the silicone of the mask is the softest material in the world!!!
The fins (size s) are a bit big but with my 22cm feet it was expected... wearing the socks almost my whole foot is inside the fin, with the boots only the 85% hahaha. By the way, I love neoprene shoes, I had never used them and they are super comfortable! also the perfect size (4)

I thank you all very much for helping me, it was quite a challenge for me to choose what to buy because on the one hand I do not have a big budget and on the other hand as I always used borrowed equipment of any size I was not sure of my suitable sizes either. and your comments were a great help in this process

look at this :rofl3:

You have tiny feet like me, and I have those issues too.
My feet don't extend past foot pockets either, even with sturdy boots, but as long as the straps are tight and the foot pocket isn't too wide, it's all good. You don't want a fin pocket to wobble on your foot, because that can cause discomfort as you kick, especially in a current or for long distances.

It looks like you might have spring straps on your fins already? Do you? Are they snug? If not, you might be able to replace them with shorter spring straps. I once had my UTD Precision fins shipped to me with spring straps cut to 7", but it was the manufacturer who cut them. They fit my ladies size 5 (youth size 3) feet perfectly.

Hopefully your current straps are tight enough to help with the slightly big foot pocket...
