Well, for now (for both scuba diving and a little freediving), I've managed to modify my fins to fit a lot better. I can't imagine I'd find a closed-heel fin that would fit an 11.5x6e foot with boots and/or socks on, though. Any suggestions for when I have a little money?

Well, right now I"m mostly just freediving for exercise, and I don't really have much cash at the moment

Well there's no pictures, so I couldn't tell. So all I can do is get the looser straps and hope for the best?

For my feet, the width is 10.5cm (4.13 inches), and I don't have a full sized ruler, but my shoe size is 11.5, which is 27.1cm and 10.6875 inches.

The width of the pocket is 11.5cm with the spring strap pulled tight. Consider also that I wear a 5mm boot with 3mm socks, so add about a cm and a half total (8mm x 2 sides of my foot). I plan on switching back to buckle straps, which should widen it a little bit, but maybe not enough. I mean, I'm gunna try the straps before resorting to stretching the fin, but I can't see it making enough of a difference

Edit: If I may ask, did the original poster mention that it didn't work in another thread or something? Because he seemed quite happy in this one

Does anyone know what this guy did? The images have expired, and I have a 6E wide foot. I wear XXL tech fins but even they aren't cutting it

Edit: for that matter, I NEED it wide, but I also WANT it taller, so my fins fit around my boots better

Edit 2: and sorry for resurrecting a 5 year old thread, but I figured my question was specific enough to this thread that it was warranted

So, I'm not really a spearfisher, but I have a free/scuba diver. I came on this forum because I found a thread about stretching the foot pocket of a pair of fins, but the pictures detailing the operation were deleted by the hosting site (imgur.com never deletes pictures, just so you know), so I registered to ask on that thread. However, I am happy to talk a bit about diving in general, while I"m here.
