Re: cressi gara 3000ld or omer ice?

I think you're going to have a big problem finding a good footpocket for you...this doesn't mean it's impossible though so don't despair. Just make sure you try on the fins before. I don't think the cressis are going to be an option. Cressi has a very narrow front part, they are a bit tight on me and I have a normal sized foot, however the heel on the cressis is normal (it's actually a little big for me, but just a little). So you have a wide front part of your foot the cressis will probably be prohibitively narrow.
The omer footpocket has a very wide front and heel (in my opinion) while the front fit me well the heel was WAY TOO BIG and it would have been really difficult for me to get them to fit well. Fin keepers are a good idea if you have a narrower heel, so you definitely want to look into getting a pair of these. Try to find a store or just a friend who has a pair of the ice fins (or any omer footpocket) and you can get an idea of how they will fit. Leisurepro.com will let you return items and refund or exchange them. THEY HAVE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! and really good prices.
