OMS SlipStream sizing?

How do these fins run as far as sizing?
I'm a male, size 12 wide and wear 3mm booties.
Does XXL sound about right?
SuperRockets in XL are wayyyyy too tight.

XL SlipStreams are 99.9% identically sized to XL Jets.

XXK SlipStreams are... the next size up. Much smaller than XXL Jet fins. Similar in size to Turtles.

If you're too big for XL SlipStreams, XXL is probably the right size. If you're too big for XXM SlipStreams, you'll have to find another kind of fin...

I wear an 11 wide shoe and XL slipstreams fit me fine, though snug, with 5mm boots. The XXL slipstreams were much to loose on me with 5-6mm boots. With size 12 wide feet, I'd say you will probably be right on the border of XL and XXL with 3mm boots.

I need to get better size info too. I wear 12EEEE and my Jets (XL) fit with soft soled booties but not hard soled. My XXL jets are too big even with my dry suit (viking) with integrated boots.

I'm looking for something like a JET, or slipstream that fits 12/13 hard sole booties, and possibly my d/s.

XXL SlipStreams

Turtles

Hollis F1's

Any of the above will be fine.

I am confuesed on sizing also. I have DUI TLS 350 with XL turbo sole boots. I wear 11.5-12 street shoe usually wide. I have an old pair of SP Jets XL that do not fit. Have a set of Sherwood Trek splits XL that fit fine. I want to get a pair of Slipstreams and have no way to try on prior to purchase. I am leaning toward XXL.
Do Slipstreams run Small ?

Slipstream XL and Jet fin XL are literally clones. Exact same size, +/- a millimeter or two for manufacturing variances.

If XL Jet fin is too small, XL Slipstream is also too small.

You want XXL Slipstream.
