Wide fins and booties

Ok so I have extremely wide feet. 8.5 and 9 EEE!!! I almost don't need fins. Is there anyone who makes booties and fins for wide(er) feet?


cheers,


BTD

Yeah... some are definitely boats. Turtles come to mind, but they run around a size 12-14 anyhow. Maybe Mares Avanti series fins would do it. I have Size 11.5 EE and they fit me really well, with a little room.

Not sure of the width of my feet exactly, but I have Apollo splits and they are a bit narrow. I had to go bigger than I thought I would have. Heard that Turtles and Jet-fins have plenty of width to accomodate dry suit boots.

sure ForceFins will fit very well. I have a 13EEE and I can wear them very comfortably. If you want to wear a standard 3mm bootie, the L should fit, but you might want to try the XL, I think you might be right on the edge and the best solution might be an XL with a comfort instep to snug up the top some.

but you should look at the sizing chart first.
