I wear a men's 9.5 American, what size should I order. I am looking for a flipper that will only add a small amount of assistance. Is this the right p

I used the mfg sizing chart and it was accurate (woman's 9.5/me 's 8 was a Small. This fin gives you a huge amount of assistance, way more than the Zoomers I have used...but you can get a great workout by working hard (but a longer pool is nice!)

I wear an ll man's shoe, and their 'large" size is a really tight fit. you might be ok, a bit loose, they SAY you can fix by wearing a sock. i could not swim any faster with them than with large scuba fins, and I had to work much harder with the aqua fin. I am not, however, training to really swim, just to endure, lose weight, and built leg muscle. If your goals are different, they might work for you.

M-L, im 10 and works for me, and a friend of mine is 10.5 and works too. The fins are a little stiff so, prepare for newbies blisters

i also have 9.5 men's shoe feet. primarily, you want a bootie that feels good and fits nicely into your fin. i use a 10 because that is comfortable both in and out of my fins and the size 10 bootie does not 'wrinkle' when i put it into my fins. but atlas some will tell you to get a size 9 for a real snug fit ... i have found that unnecessary and not comfortable for long periods of wear ... but i know others who do not mind a tight fit for long periods. your choice, either size will probably work. you might want to go to a local scuba shop and just try on different sizes to see what feels good and take your fins with you too.

Hi Sara If your buying a woman's fin go m-l If men's s-m, they are an open back design with adjustable strap, I dive mostly in cold water so I wear a 5mm boot, I am a size 8 and the s-m are just fine. The fins are good, they are stiff and that makes for good speed, but it does take good strong legs if you are doing multiple dives.

The best advice I can give on sizing is to go to their website, click FAQ and then call their 800 number. Moosjaw stores live chat was also helpful in determining the best size. The reason I say this is that the size is very dependent on the usage. I ordered the XL mainly to go over my large pac boots I wear ice fishing and still hunting deer in the winter muzzle loader season in Canada. Calf and shoe size are only helpful to a point since the ultimate measurement is what you will be wearing and putting the gaiter over top of when you are dressed. One solution is to put on the clothing you will be using and then measure. The larger sizes are taller which to me means warmer and more waterproof. There is a belt tightener at the top as well as under your boot ahead of the heel. I use a smaller size for fall grouse hunting and the XL for winter snowshoes on a size 10 lacrosse pac boot.I love these gaiters and if you follow the instructions in putting them on you will love them too. Another tip is to put them on with the boot buckle to the outside where it won't catch your clothing . cheers

I'd go by shoe size, maybe hedge by going a size or 2 over and wearing thick socks or boot liners. I'm 5'9", 34" waist, 30" inseam, 150lb, shoe size is technically 9-9 1/2, but I wear a 10 1/2 shoe, and ordered size 11. I would call the overall fit generous but skimpy vertically. Update: I actually had a need to use the waders today. I wore jeans and heavyish athletic socks under them. The shoe was very comfortable and supported me well while walking over an irregular lake bottom. The waders kept me dry, until I bent over in the water and let some water in the top of the chest. It would have been nice if they had assumed about 2" more inseam for my size, so I might have been able to hike them up a little higher. So if you're tall, or proportionately longer in the leg than the same height Chinese guy (these are made in China), you might want to add 2 or 3 shoe sizes, if that's the only knob you've got to turn.

I wish I did Paul. I expected more choices, or more sizes. I too much prefer a pull-on boot. Curiously, the Husqvarna has laces in the back! I need the full circumference to fit my pants inside the boot, too. The height of the boot is 14" measured inside fromthe heel, if that helps. It is a size 10-1/2 (the smallest available at the time...I usually wear size 9). With a liner for both comfort and winter wear, they fit me very well. Perhaps the measurements would be better for you on larger sizes. Put out the query for someone with your boot size (or 1 to 2 sizes larger). They're a fine boot. Good luck!

Cf. my posted review if you haven't already. I normally weak men's medium glove - clearly not large or small. I had the same glove in medium (I lost it kayaking in June) and it was okay (size-wise). But the one I purchased this year in medium was too small for my medium hand. I can get it on, but with difficulty and it is really too tight. Perhaps it will stretch with time. But if I were ordering again, I would order large for myself. Hope this gives you at least some idea. I can't say much about how it would fit a woman's hands -- but perhaps you can make a guess from my comments on how it fits my normal men's hands. Cf. my posted review if you haven't already.

Hi, my wife wears a size 6.5 shoes (US sizing). The fins have an adjustable strap around the heel with solid catches holding it, and there is plenty of room to go a couple of sizes up or down. I can't remember for sure, but I think US Divers website also had some sort of sizing chart that we checked before buying these. We used them in Hawaii (they pack pretty flat), and loved them.

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.

these are great reef shoes. They are men's sizes so you should drop down one full size if possible. So if they have a 5 that would fit you good.

Assuming 9.5 mens in American sizes, get the large. Thats my shoe size as well and the size I ordered.

Works well with waders ....used them the other day barefoot and they are uncomfortable after only a short time. Keep in mind we use them while in fishing tubes (like small boats ) to get around the lakes. I may try them with a pair of those water shoes on and see how they feel... In the summer i rather fish without the waders (which have the boots attached) so trying to find the most comfortable way to wear these flippers to be able to move around the lake.... Def not barefoot.... Hope this helps

Hi, I am a man, my foot is 10.5 us size. I think, if you have a wide foot this is perfect fin for you. Sorry for my English I bought this item from south America

I would recommend that you order the size 12 or 12.5. My husband wears a size 11.5 and I bought him the size 11. It fit a little snug at first, but, it stretched quickly once he got in the water

I bought 9.5 shoe when I'm usually a 9. The recommendation for that size was a large but I bought a medium instead. It was a perfect fit for my shoe. So I would recommend the small for that size shoe.

I would get them large, The Fins are adjustable and very comfortable, I swim miles in them, however if you don't make sure the foot is seated in the boot, it would be constricting but you would know by feel. With the larger size performing well at depth would be a cinch. Without any more effort than had you got the smaller pair. Adding some versatility to the whole prospect! Get Wet Soon!
