I have goofy feet, wide (EEEE right, EEE left) and high arches. fortunately this really is not a problem in fins, because length doesn't really matter much.

I wear a 44-45 (10.5-11 US) shoe [measured by length I am a 9 or a 41, but I have not worn a show of that size since I was 13]

Cressi Gara's 2000HF (or 3000): 44-45
- barefoot perfect! very comfy
- cannot wear even a 1.5mm sock with this fin without losing circulation on the top of my foot

Omer Foot Pocket: 42-44
- barefoot decent, a little side to side wiggle mostly in the heel, while swimming the wiggle is not noticeable
- 2-3 mm sock tight across the ball of the foot leads to cramping, and cuts off circulation near the top of the foot

Sporasub H. Dessault: 46-48
- barefoot, loose across the whole foot, usable for me but not ideal, no real fear of it falling off while swimming, more comfortable plastic than the Omer
- 6-7mm socks are tight across the top of the foot, after swimming for a while cramps and pressure across the ball of the foot
- 2-3mm socks pretty comfy, some days I would cramp my feet anyway after a few hours but not reliably

(SCUBA Fin) Mares Avanti Quatro: XXL
- barefoot it falls off unless I am carefully, uncomfortable on heel
- 5-7mm boot works fine, very comfortable, poor acceleration, good backwards pull

Summary:
- Cressi Footpockets runs small compared to Omer & Sporasub
- Omer has a large heel
- length of foot is not that important in fitting full foot fins compared to size near opening of the footpocket
