Check out BARE
They have a wide range of standard sizes.

I agree, Bare is one of the best.

So is Diving Concepts and also Zeagle.

Whatever brand you choose, make sure you custom order. It only costs a little more, and you get a perfectly fitting suit.

Thanks ns2ny. I am strictly rec, very lazy also #12 shoe. Is there an advantage to changing boots to neo socks ?

Are you my long lost twin :jump013:

As I too am looking for a new suit and have another thread going on this subject, it boils down to personal preference.

I head some folks say they prefer the socks cuz the are more comfortable and may hold less air that the boots thus reducing "floaty feet". Disadvantage is that you should place something over the socks to avoid ripping them up on the walk to the water. But there are far more qualified people peeking at this thread that could answer...

I can confirm that this little "trick" to shorten or lengthen by a wee bit by changing the boots of the socks is real and does work (within limits).

Good luck trying to find a place to try them on. NOt too many places stock them. Someone mentioned the custom route. Certainly worth looking into. Since I am a cheap and I found some sizes I could easily live with, I will go off the rack.
