Do you need to wear booties with these fins?

Yes. It makes it south easier to walk across rough surface to enter the water. Plus no need to worry about blister if you're in the water a long time

Booties not really necessary in warm waters unless you want extra protection from sharp objects, urchins, etc.

Waterfi fuelbands definitely are. For the regular ones I suppose that Nike can answer this. I heard that you can wear them while swimming but not use them for diving.

I usually put them over the neoprene booties on my waders. But i have used them just over cotton socks when i don't wanna use the waders . Not the thin kinda dress socks mind you but the kind you would ware with running shoes. Both work fine

I have size 12 boots and the XL in the fins. I find that the fins are still a little too big. So I would say you would be good as long as you get the lg size fin.

Just make sure there's ventilation. The aluminium fins warm up pretty quick.

I wear a women's 6.5 and the small fin fit with extra room. You should be fine with a small. I also wear 2 mm neoprene booties with it and it fit fine.

The bottom will protect your feet, but I find it really hard to swim in booties. AS long as you are not swimming laps, they should be fine.

Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

The leggings end in neoprene stocking feel, so separate boots are required. I have used them in some very cold water, and would recommend something like sweatpants under them, as the breathable fabric passes cold through very quickly. I have used them since about September of last year, and have yet to notice any water intrusion....

You can as long as your foot placement is correct. Heels only. Ive done it before. But I would still use shoes.

You really need to get both fins. Each has it's place in your training regimen. Here is a you tube that explains it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDVakmzHHM

Absolutely. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever used with my shoes on. There are cuff-like brackets for your feet, and so you can adjust to be sure they're snug enough that you don't slip out! (and not uncomfortable either).

In my experience I feel that they are necessary, the strap of the fins scrapes the back of your heel. Around the ankle, and with the socks it prevents that and adds a bit more comfort

You do need to wear boots, but you can find inexpensive ones on Amazon. I bought these(NeoSport Wetsuits Premium Neoprene 3mm Low Top Pull On Boot) to go along with the Cressi and it worked great.

Either tail will fit your feet as your feet just need to slip into sleeve. Your feet literally are on top of the plastic that keeps the shape of fin. Your foot stays in place by the neoprene. No sock to bind or pinch your feet or toes. So bigger fin more fin to propel you if you have the leg and core strength to do so. Super fun and comfortable!

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.
