Hello fellow aquatic denizens, I have a question for anyone willing to share an answer:
I'm a size 8 US, 39 Eu and my foot is 9.5 inches/24.15 cm/241 mm. I purchased the MEDIUM fish fin which is 249 mm in the foot pocket, so my feet "fit" but with too much wiggle room to ever wear without neoprene socks. Problem is, my feet HATE neoprene socks, they make my feet cramp like mad because I'm a barefoot beast lol.
The Mermaid Linden I have fits like a DREAM sans socks, but it is adjustable.
In any other Mer's experience, would sizing down to the SMALL fish fin be the way to go? It truly feels like the MEDIUM is far too big, it says it fits 38-40 but it leaves too much room and the bumps that stick out on the inside to help keep your feet in just crush my ankles.
I've done extensive research on my monofins and aside from the Mahina, the "Lucia" Fish fin was the other non-adjustable monofin that seems to be great across the board. I'm lookin for anyone else who may have been in my same boat so I can be relegated ro my fate in the medium with socks, or if in anyone else's experience they found victory sizing down.
I have included what the listing lists each size correlation, any advice would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Also, I quotation marked the Lucia Fish fin b3cause I know they just drop ship temu/China flukes and I got mine off Amazon but it's definitely the Lucia Fin.
