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.

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.

Yes and you can even wear it with no socks and sandals. They are really great! Sorry for the delay in answering.

Comfort mostly if you plan on wearing the fins for more than a few minutes. It also gives you a snug fit otherwise the fins can move a bit when you swim. Also great if the fins are a little big it helps you to fit better.

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.

YES.... The fins are stamped 4-7 Small, my wife uses and she is a 6.5. They seem to be true to size as I have a 9-11 and wear a size 10.

No. But my granddaughter wears a color-coordinated swimsuit with it. She absolutely LOVES her fins and finds any opportunity to swim with them on.

These fins are extremely buoyant. They are great for lap swim, but if you like to swim under the water when snorkeling, as opposed to floating on top, you will have to wrestle with these as they tend to make you float feet-up. Better to have neutral fins for snorkeling.

Yes, there is a tight fit on these fins! They will be fine I bought 3 of them! Love 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.

No.These are for wading into the water and keeping the water out. Neoprene helps keep you warm.On a lobster boat, you should never wear anything that can fill up with water, as the danger of falling overboard is constantly there. Lobstermen wear layers that shed the water that splashes them. Bib pants, and jacket. With knee boots. If you are on a boat that has a lot of water washing across the deck, then you might wear thigh high boots.

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.
263457
yes! otherwise you'll burn your skin. I reuse the booties. Sometimes I have to hold them on with one of my fingers b/c they stretch out over time.

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

Yes, but you must tuck in the tongue. I wear a size 10 as a reference point

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
