Mares Avanti fin sizes ?

Hi, Im after a pair of Avanti fins for my GF. Can anyone tell me what size foot fits into the XS or S versions. With a boot on of course. She takes a 5 1/2 or a 38 Euro shoe normally.

Thanks.

PS, If you have some for sale she would be interested.

I used to work in a dive shop and we'd sell a lot of these - the XS is really tiny. I have huge unladylike feet, but I'm told by daintier friends that the small would be fine for your better half. From memory, the rough size range for a small is 4 to 6ish.
Worth bearing in mind also that there's often as much as a whole size difference if you're switching between drysuits and wetsuit boots, so she's probably better off in a small.
Does that help?

I am a size 5 (38) shoe. For warm water diving with bootees I have used both small Quattros and small Volos. With my drysuit I use 'regular' size Volos (and Quattros in the past).
