OMS Slipstream Sizing

My size XL slipstreams arrived today and below are some pictures of them with my size 12 boots. They are really uncomfortable (probably because they don't fit well). Do you think that a XXL in the same fin would be too big or should I try another brand? Thanks.

XL is WAY too small for size 12 feet. They fit my 9.5's just fine... for comparison. No way on earth they'll work for size 12's unless you're diving barefoot.

Definitely go to XXL, and hope the soles of your booties aren't too thick.

I have the XXLs and I wear a size 10 The XXLs are too big for me. Want to trade? They do have Spring Straps. I also wear the same booties as the ones you are wearing in the pics. They are brand new.

What size and style spring straps?

I ordered them with the XL Manta straps but took them off. I could reattach them and send them with the fins or you could keep your straps if you like them.

I ordered them from OMS. So they are the springs that go with them. They are XL.
