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.

You can wear whatever you want as long as you dont mind them getting wet! I use a cheap pair of boots with my stockingfoot waders

Yes, you can use it without the booties, but the electric stimulation is painful without them as they are a buffer for the intensity of the shocks. I have found you can wash the booties and reuse a few times though to get more wear out of them, and it is possible to reorder more booties from the company.

Yep, no need for the booties/socks. I took mine to Fiji for 2 weeks ans snorkeled everyday for at least 30 minutes and never had an issue with blisters/sores on my feet.

To be honest, I only know they will protect your feet from the rough surface. That is why I bought them. However, I use them with open heel fins. I don't try to swim with them alone.

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 have only used them with open heal fins but if the close heal ones are generous, they should work.

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

yes and they BUST off ! I was stuck on vacation with no fins and had to rent some. First time i even put them on.

I don't. They foot pockets are designed to fit your bare feet so boots would not work. They may have an open heel version that can be used with boots

No. Maybe like wearing and extra pair of socks. I wear the same basketball shoe size with and without. Not very bulky.

I personally would not. There is not back to adjust the tightness of the fins. For comfort reasons i wouldn't. I think they make socks which are like boots in material just, a sock in a sense.

I don't think you would have a problem, but I have read some other reviews and numerous people have complained about the suction leaving marks on their face. I had to send my set back because my husband thought the fins would make my ankle injury worse because they are short. Others have really liked the shape. Please look at other reviews.

Yes. You really need to play around with all the configurations. For me, just slightly rotating the fins a certain way makes a huge difference in comfort.

No; this booty is strictly for warming the feet. You wear them over socks or bare feet. Most folks use put them on after spending a cold day outdoors. You can wear them outside but I wouldn't substitute them for good boots.

I would go with a S/M. The boot takes up some space bit the fin has a large pocket and the open back allows for a good range of adjustment. M shoe size is a U.S. 10 and I have to snug the strap up on a M/L with a 5mm bootie. They are well made and fairly long. My wife bought the closed fit and they are really a long fin. The longer the fins causes them work better at propelling you down and dealing with current.

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.
