DUI Rockboots alternative

Looking for a little advice pls,

I've managed to get my mitts on a DUI TLS350 which has come with rock boots size 11 (US). Simply put they're just to big for my jetfins and at present I can't afford to replace them and don't really want to either the fins that is, eventually I'd like to try and get some turbo soles retro fitted. (Anyone had this done, if so can you give me an idea of cost and time taken pls)

In the mean time it has been suggested that I could just use some wetsuit boots, has anyone tried this??

Thanks in advance

I haven't tried any of these. You could however get yourself a pair of hockey boots and cut the stubs off, might save you a bit of cash. A mate also cut a pair of wellies up and put some laces in them. Would have never won a prize for best dressed but it worked and he was happy.

£120 Fitted from SDS in Sheffield if they have any left.
I'm a size 9 foot and the large turbo fits a treat

I also tried wet boots but the squeeze was quite painfull and they made my feet floaty.

Rich W (GUE) Ins has wet boots!
