James B I wear a men's 12.5-13, depending on the shoe manufacturer. Will the largest size fit me?
MARK G James B : I'm a 8 1/2 foot and purchased a 42-43 , 8-9 fin and it fits perfectly. It had the power I needed. I'm happy with the product.....Mark
JEFF K "James, I purchased these fins for a divemaster/shark wrangler that we met on a trip to Guadalupe, Mexico. He has rather large feet, and I'm told that the large size fits rather tightly. I, for one, purchased a different set of fins for doing pool work with my students, and even though I purchased the correct size for my feet, the fin pockets were tight, and to me, that was uncomfortable. The fins that I dive with are the full-foot Mares Avanti Quattro, size Large. My foot size is 10.5 US, and these offer a rather roomy pocket. At one time, they were available in XL, but they are no longer available. So... my recommendation is to try the Super Channels, in as large a size that you can get them. If you find that they are too small, you can always return them, unused. Leisure Pro is great in so many ways - but being able to try things in your own home is a wonderful benefit. Good Luck, and Happy Diving. Jeff"

JULIANNE T Sorry, don't know the answer. My husband wears a 10-10.5 size shoe and the size he got fit him perfectly. I believe we just ordered off the manufacturers size chart. We have both used Mares fins for years, and love the fit and the performance.
PAUL O Sorry - my foot is a 10 so can't help.
FRANK W I have the same size (12.5 to 13). I was sceptic at first but the largest size fits me surprisingly well. I used for snorkeling with the kids this summer without having to deal with booties and i was extremely pleased. Hope it'll work out for you as well as it did for me.
