Shopper women's size shoe 8 1/2 or 9 narrow = what size of fin?
men's size shoe 10 1/2 wide = what size of fin?
what boot do you recommend for both?
RYAN C My son has a size 11 and is happy with the XL. My wife wears a 7 1/2 and has the Regular size. Both wear full size 7 mm boots which take up more room than a light bootie or boot. Hope that helps but Leisure Pro will take care of you either way.
YEVGENIY C As far as these fins are build extremely close to Mares Avanti series (Quattro, X3, Super channel) - natural choice was Mares trilastic boots to complement fins. I am very happy with those Mares boots, and my wife agrees with this opinion in regards to her set of fins and boots. Boots are true to size, comfortable for a full day wear. About sizing - use Mares sizing chart for Avanti Quattro (thats what I did and it fits perfect). Mares boots are hard soles, so you can walk land and sea and sharp coral rocks without fear of injury. Boots should fit relatively snug but not too tight.
MARSHA K I wear a women's size 8 1/2 or 9 narrow too and my Makos are Men's small. they are very adjustable and I've worn several different boots with them. If you get these, buy the extra straps, because they do pop off and a universal strap will not fit it. I learned that the hard way. You'll be sitting on the boat while everyone is diving. These are also very stiff fins, not my favorites, but a good price and easy to transport on trips.
BRUCE W My wife has US 8-8 1/2 feet, narrow to average width, and wears X-Small Mako fin. I have US 11 feet and wear Regular Mako fin.
