I don't have access to any of these fins, but I thought I might be able to help you when I found the following though Google Images:

I tried doing the arithmetic, i.e. subtracting dimension C from dimension A to calculate the length of the foot pocket. So Cressi Gara Modular size 38/39: A - C = 870 - 780 = 90 mm. The result made no sense whatsoever, of course, because size 38/39 would mean a foot length approximating 237 - 246 mm, not 90 mm. Perhaps Cressi too have realised that this size table was total garbage because it doesn't appear on their website. If I had my way I'd impose national standard DIN 7876 on all fin manufacturers to oblige them to provide the inner length and the inner width in millimetres of every fin they make.

As for Omar Stingrays, I found the following Adreno Spearfishing table online for these fins:

The Japan sizes correspond to actual centimetres. Make of it what you will.

Sorry I can't help more.

It seems like only Pathos lists the inside-pocket-measurements. For the other brands it's guesswork.

Contacting Cressi also doesn't work, they handed me some US size chart and a converting table to mm/mondo, which pointed me to a size 43 for a 255mm foot, while trying the Modular in the store a 38/39 was still a little roomy barefoot.

I wonder why it is so hard for manufacturers to take a rules and measure it, or even better, to take the design schematics and simply copy-paste the measurement.

Its a shame but its a fact. To be sure you really need to try a fin on with the fin sock that you use.

But even with running shoes or street shoes you can't depend on size. Some brands fit tighter and some fit looser.
