My shoe size is 10.5 and my Da Fins are 11-12 large. Yes they do run smaller than their stated size.

I have really wide feet and bunions the size of golf balls :evil: I have been wearing Hot Buttered fins a couple of years and they are by far the most comfortable fin for me. BUT... they are so small and limp :oops: that they really don't do much in the way of propulsion. True, there blue and white color match my board which is important to the style conscious :arrow: but in the quest for more thrust, I recently purchased a pair of Tech 2 Hydro fins. Now thats the ticket :idea: They are only slightly bigger than the H.B.'s but much stiffer, yet light in weight with a generous and soft foot pocket 8) As the most interesting man in the world says, " I don't always wear fins, but when I do....
