If you're a 10 in standard boots then you want a turtle. You'd need to be a narrow 9 or realistically an 8 to use XL jets.

Only problem I had was some sideways movement in the turtles - size 10 standard boots - but then I can't realistically use the jets, they've gone to the girlfriend for later in the season.

Considering the majority of blokes in the UK are size 10 and use standard boots, I am a bit disappointed there isn't a jetfin basically designed for that size. I got on OK with the Beaver/NDiver jets, but even they are a bit small for long dives.

What I would really dearly love is if someone could convince Mares to produce a Quattro with a rubber blade like a jetfin. Their foot pockets are simply second to none IMO, and I have gone back to them as a result.

Digs.
