wow, interesting information.

from this thread it is clear that no two feet are the same.

even those with similar length feet as mine seem to have markedly different fit with the same size fins.

rslomkow's observations seem pertinent to me:
"length of foot is not that important in fitting full foot fins compared to size near opening of the footpocket"

i have no idea how to quantify this aspect of foot thickness but certainly something to take into consideration---at least for those up us unable to first try on fins before we buy them.

i would guess that my feet are "thinner" in this aspect given that i used to lace up my climbing shoes such that the eyelets ended up quite close together (especially compared to the shoes of my friend's with "thicker" feet).

hopefully others continue to add to this thread.

cheers,
