hello db fin seekers,

when i started this thread i was trying to figure out what size footpockets to buy. i now have my fins so here is my own foot/fin info:



make and model of fins you own
- OMER Millenium Black fins

size of fins
- 44-46

thickness and type of socks worn -
- in the pool i use a 2 or 3 mm sock, which works fine but the fins are slightly loose. in the ocean i generally use a 5mm sock, which works perfectly (although i will use the 3mm as well). i haven't yet tried the 6mm sock while swimming but they seem a little snug during dry fitting, i fear they may be too tight to allow sufficient blood flow.

when i ordered my fins i also ordered a pair of 3mm and 5mm omer fin socks (from spearfishinggear.com) to cover my bases as far as fit. additionally, i had a pair of 4 and 6mm socks made along with my elios wetsuit in case i needed them for fitting the footpocket (and for winter dives of course).

comments regarding quality of fit -
fit is great - the fin size is definitely correct for my foot. i can comfortably wear a range of sock thicknesses, which affects the overall snugness of fit (see above). 5mm sock is the best fit for my foot.

foot size and country -
canada - size 10.5 (we use the american sizing)

any additional fit/foot info
- i have somewhat narrow feet.



cheers and i wish you all the best in finding your own perfectly fitting fins,
