I did not use foot sox/booties. I have male 8 1/2 shoe size and followed the web page sizing chart. The flippers fit perfectly.Be sure to fully tighten the heel straps before swimming.

I didn't use socks or booties, but then I have a large foot....a women's 9 -10 & used a L/XL flipper which was perfect.

I do use booties with my open-strap snorkel fins (a different fin by same manufacturer). My feet tend to blister easily, and I find less irritation when I wear the booties.

We used them barefoot, though socks would have probably been even more comfortable. We both got medium /large ant the fit was perfect. I'm a 10.5 and she is 8. I would say go small... enjoy :)

I have a 7 1/2 shoe size and the adjustable strap works wonderful and plenty more to adjust if my foot was smaller. I bought the small/medium and they fit very well.

We didn't use socks and all four of used the Small. My kids wear 4.5, I'm a 6 and my husband wears an 8. No problems for any of us to use the flippers comfortably

My wife says that hers fit the expected size exactly. She is around a 7.5 I think. She told me that sometimes women's socks run small (in her experience) but that these were spot on. I reported that my Men's size seemed to run a little big but was still OK.

Yes I would go up a size they fit snug. As they should !! You dont want things leaking out :)

In size 6 there was no problem with movements while swimming. And they are doing a lot of free style etc, no trouble at all. The smaller tighter size 4 was little uncomfortable in this way. Id say the way size 6 fits my kid is like on the picture of the girl for this item here on amazon.

Hey DanI 9.5. I tried these on and they fit pretty well. There was still adjustment left on the strap. That was size small/medium. When wet they will slip so i always prefer to go on the snug side when dry. Hope this helps.

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

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'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. =)

Becouse I use mine with and without boots, if I'm wearing booties it's usually 3mm booties from tilos they seem to operate just fine, but my suggestion is to go by local water temperature and I say that becouse the average temp in my area requires up to 7mm for temp. I would play around with some relatively inexpensive booties before making that decision.I would say a low cut or standard booti in height would do you ok

I bought them for kayaking.They run small though, I bought an XL and they fit like they are 1 size smaller.

Go to their web site filteryourlife.com they are now offering a size that is 25% small, I have had no trouble with the original ones and my husband and I both can use them, but I might try the smaller ones for myself.

I bought the Akona fin socks - they come in actual sizes. I used these with my snorkeling fins. They snugged up the fins, but weren't tight - they loosened a bit in the water. I have dive boots to wear with my dive fins. The Akona socks worked great - hope this helps!

I've used them with full fins and open fins with no problem, but would rather use diving boots for open fins. They get a bit loose after a few uses, but still work well as socks for full fins. If you use them without fins they're not that great because they flood easily.

I use size small. My shoe size is 7. They are a life saver for me. I don't even know I am using them. I wear them with all my shoes and hiking boots.

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.

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

I use the size 10...they work great!! And if you take care of them, they will last forever!! I clean mine in mineral spirits first then hot soapy water :)
