I'm a size 8- are these cut small or big or true to size? Better to have a tighter fit with the fins or be a little big?

Your heal may hang out the back a bit, but they are designed to work like that. I wear an 8.5 and they work great.

I prefer a tighter fit so I don't get blisters. The sizes are pretty true, I think, but since I am a 1/2 size, I went up in size rather than down and got the neoprene dive socks to wear with them ....super comfortable and no blisters. If not wearing the neoprene, then go down if you are a 1/2 size.... backs are adjustable.

I wear an 8.5, and they fit fine. So, I would say true to size. I wore water socks as well with mine.

I am a size 9 and they fit well. It is very easy to adjust the fins while they are on your feet (even when you are floating the the water). The fins are kind of short in length which did not bother me, but my husband thinks the longer fins give you more power.

They are adjustable and a perfect fit is attainable my wife just loves them enjoy

4-5 I wear a women's size 9.5 shoe, and purchased the size 6-7 fin, so the size 4-5 fin should fit you. I have a very low volume foot, and I found the fins are a little large around the ankle, but the fins are secure on my foot while kicking.

I wear a womens 10.5 to 11 shoe and I bought a medium pair. (I do wear them under fins though.)

Yes, there is a tight fit on these fins! They will be fine I bought 3 of them! Love them!

I'm a 9.5-10 US (Men's). With a 3mm swim boot, I wear the Medium/Large - they do feel a TINY bit big. I emphasize tiny because they are completely manageable, but I do experience some occasional foot cramp. I have ~100 dive hours on them. Assuming your size is men's, I think Small/Medium would be an appropriate size for you. =)

Personally I would go with the 8. It may be a smidge loose, but shouldn't effect anything. The problem I found is, if I get the exact size, they will grow out of it by summer. If I get a size larger, they will grow into it, theoretically, it would save some money. Wetsuits are suppose to fit snug, but a little loose is ok. BTW....Amazon sells this stuff called "piss off". It's a wetsuit cleaner./deodorizer. Make sure he rinses, and hang dries. It does to get a funky smell so LET IT DRY ON A HANGER AND KEEP IT OUTSIDE.. on the hanger. Good luck.

Sara, I see that you already have one answer. I purchased the fins for my son who is a men's size 10. His were M-L and he never had any problems. There are adjustable straps.

Hi Peter, I think you should get these in size 11, they will feel a little snug, however, once you get in the water they will stretch a little and give you a perfect fit. If you buy them at just the right fit or bigger then they tend to fall off your feet once you get in the water.

I'm not sure I'm right person to ask this as my size would be 47-48 cm. Also, there was no mention of age so the growth rate should be a consideration in making the choice. For me these fins were "too small" so go with the next size up from what you would purchase in a "street shoe". If they happen to be a bit larger order 2 or 3 mm aqua socks. Hope this helps.

I wear a woman's size 8 medium. based on this comment, I felt safe in ordering a size 7/8. The package was just delivered, and much to my disappointment, they are too large, and would fall off when I'm swimming, so I need to return them.

Hi Sara If your buying a woman's fin go m-l If men's s-m, they are an open back design with adjustable strap, I dive mostly in cold water so I wear a 5mm boot, I am a size 8 and the s-m are just fine. The fins are good, they are stiff and that makes for good speed, but it does take good strong legs if you are doing multiple dives.

Not sure, but I am a size 8, true 8. I ordered: MICROFIN, color: silver/black, size: 6 - 7 (40-41) and I love the fit and comfort of these. I have tried a few other types of swim fins and these are hands down the best for comfort at the ankle and fit.

I wear a US 81/2 or a US 9. However, I ordered a L/XL to be on the safe side and figured I would wear socks if it was too roomy. However, it turned out fine. It was a little large but I just adjusted the strap. Therefore, if you wear a UK 7 (US 91/2), you will be fine with a L/XL fin. Have fun!

The Finis chart says Size E for women's size 9/10. They run slightly big, but I have not found that to be a problem because they stay on. They are the most comfortable fins I have owned. I wear them for laps and water workout. They are great for strengthening the legs without stress on the knees. These fins are my all time faves.

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.

I wear a size 9 in a woman's shoe and bought the medium 7-8 because I thought the fins were in a men's size. It was way too small---very tight. So, I reordered the Medium Large 8-10 and it was perfect. I always wear a fin sock too for blistering. With the sock it was cozy and comfortable.

I wear a women's 7.5 and usually buy the next size up and wear thin socks to prevent blistering, as I use them daily. This time around the sizing was smaller, but it does vary. If you will wear socks, definitely buy the next size up; if not, or if you will wear the fins rarely and not for long, buy your size. It also looks like someone who answered before who was a size 9 ordered the large as well with better success.
