If you don't already have these footpockets and don't know what size to get... Consider Pathos footpockets.

They are awesome.

Fins4u is in the UK and might have something you can try on.

I wear a US 11, and wear 42-44 with a 3 mm sock. It's a great fit for me.

We must have similar feet then. To the OP - I would not recommend the newest generation of H. Dessault pockets. They're way too soft in the heel. If you do the test where you hold the fin by the heel and see if it holds the blade up, it fails completely. The pocket just bends and the blade falls downwards. But, if you can get your hands on the old mold like I was able too, they're the best footpockets for wide feet IMO. Very comfortable and perfect stiffness all around. I have tried to see if I can find anymore of the old model, but I can't. I was only able to find the old ones in Europe which was super lucky. I don't really know where you can get them, sorry!

OMER Stingrays or something similar might be a good choice as well. I've never used them but I've heard they're a good fit for wide feet.
