Calling proud Seaskin owners......

......especially ones with neo boots. In size 11 ( eleven ). Did I mention the boots are the Seaskin Neo ones in size Eleven ( 11 ) ?

So what fins fit then? and what size would I need for the wellies?

Its a fin question in the drysuit section cos its about the neo boots and what fins fit on them see?

I've got a pair of Mares quatro's in XL, which didnt nearly fit when I went to get measured

If anyone has any good info about what fins and what sizes of fins then I can order some in advance of the suit arriving.........cos, cos, cos, its coming soooon , and I want to dive in it rather than then have to go fin shopping with it!

Thanks,
TaM

Either turtle fins, or if you really have giant wellies the new Beaver fins are maaaasive. If you're too big for the XL Mares I suggest the new bear jobbies might be the ticket.

You can get Turtles in a lot of dive centres, and probably the Beaver ones too.

Digs.

I'm a bit surprised, I've got the neo boots in a 10 and I've got a pair of Quattros in Regular and they fit, though they are a bit tighter than when I use wetsuit boots.

I just got a pm from someone mentioning the possible trimming of the heaps of excess rubber around the sole of the boot and using a silicone spray.

This might be a good plan. I'll see how much rubber there is around the edges when the suit arrives, and go from there.

Failing that, any other options on huge fin pockets?

I would say have a word with Buoyant Babe, but I don't think she has size 11 feet and also I've heard she's had problems with her own suit........?

Something to do with "Salt Water & Changing Colour"?
