Tried a pair of XXL Slipstreams tonight. Love the performance ... hate the foot pocket.

Why do both OMS and ScubaPro seem to feel that you either have wimpy little feet (for size XL) or you're built like an NBA player ... the XXL foot pockets are freak'n HUGE!

Even with the fin flopping around my boot on every kick, these Slipstreams performed better than my Turtles. If I could get a pair that fit me, I'd buy them tomorrow.

They need to come out with a size XLD ... something between XL and XXL ... for people with normal size feet who wear drysuits.

The fin's a winner ... but the foot pocket sizes, like Jets, just suck ...

Glad to hear you like the fins (if not the size). I have an XL pair on the way and I hope they fit!
 
My XL's fit great with wet suit diving in BARE Ice Boots size 9USA. The fin pocket is way to small for my attached moon boots on my BARE dry suit. Great fin though...really like them.
 
I really like the fins ... trying to figure out a way to either stretch out the foot pocket on an XL or DIY a "boot keeper" that would fill the space between my boots and the foot pocket on the XXL.

If OMS would build the fin with a foot pocket for normal people, they'd have a best seller ...
