I want a size that a M size 8 water shoe would fit inside.. For safety purposes do not want to take them them off poolside. Any suggestions?

Because all water shoes come with different materials it would be very difficult to match up. I would recommend a neoprene sock.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

I wear a 12 and got a 12 and fits great. With water shoes you want it to fit water tight around your ankle so no sand will get in. Hope this helps.

I would go for the extra small especially if your feet are narrow. I had a pair of smalls when they were made by Zura and that is what I ordered this time. Way too big. My shoe size runs 7 1/2 to 8 in regular shoes when I can find something narrow enough. I wear New Balance size 8 1/2 narrow for workouts. I now have a pair of extra smalls in the fins from Aqua Sphere and they seem to be working. I am having a bit of trouble with the left fin rubbing just below my ankle bone but I think it will callas over and be okay. I hope this is helpful for you.

Use the smaller ones, these are really big. Honestly haven't tried either size for shoes though.

My son wears a 12 to 12 1/2 and he had plenty of room to spare. There is an insert in the Flippers that can be removed if there to small but I don't think they will be, hope this helps. Tom

Negative Jeffrey. Whatever size shoe you where, get that size. There is ample room for waders. If you wet wade in them, just double up on socks (1 pair cotton 1 pair wool) and you'll have it made in the damn shade.

We bought his & hers of this set mainly for the masks and snorkels. They are great, but fins are uncomfortable as we suspected they would be (slip-on with strap) and stay in the bag. The medium fit my wife's size 8 feet.

Size 8 would be my advice. You want them snug and with water flowing through they 'billow' a bit.

I'm a men's size 7 in most shoes, those that varies these days from a 6.5 to an 8. I think that is fairly equivalent to a women's 8-9 (if my crocs are any indicator). I have two different pair of Tyr crossblade trainers. A green/grey pair that says 5-6 (38-40) on the bottom (also says 89A and has an "S". These fit fairly well. I also bought a completely yellow pair (may not be the same model) from Sports Authority that are a size smaller. While snug they also fit. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a consistent sizing pattern to these flippers. My best advice is to know your European size (centimeters) and see if they have that information. My experience is that seems to be a little more reliable predictor. Good luck.

I wear Euro size 41 (appx M8 or W9) very narrow foot and the large fit me well. I use them inside of water canyon shoes. Best bet if your not sure is order two sizes and send one back.

I agree with the previous poster. The storage compartments add a little size when they're full. Otherwise, they lay flat. The bottom compartment is actually for wet swimsuits though. This is a swimmer's backpack. It is the typical size and style that most swimmers use (if you're a swimmer, that will likely answer your question). I don't think the bottom compartment would be large enough for a pair of shoes unless you have small feet.

There not water resistant. Get a shoe or boot, you'd be better off with sneakers.

I pruchased the large size Gators for my size 12 (wide feet) Soloman's. So compare that to what size shoe and foot width you have and go from there. My Gators fit perfectly by the way.

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.

I would go with a S/M. The boot takes up some space bit the fin has a large pocket and the open back allows for a good range of adjustment. M shoe size is a U.S. 10 and I have to snug the strap up on a M/L with a 5mm bootie. They are well made and fairly long. My wife bought the closed fit and they are really a long fin. The longer the fins causes them work better at propelling you down and dealing with current.

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.
