Hey Mers!
I'm a relatively new mer and I'm looking into getting the Mahina. My problem is I have really small feet. I'm typically between a 5 and a 6 in U.S. women's. I love the black water woman series monofin. However, I'm scared that if I even get the adult small it could still be too big. I've looked at the junior mer'fins but the fluke appears to be much smaller which may not fit future tail skins. Honestly, I'm just lost and those are my concerns. I'm sorry if I sound totally ridiculous. If anyone has any advice or information, I'd love to hear it. Thank you!

I wear size six and have a small Mahina. However, I also have wide feet for their short length. To give an idea, I wear size three men's boots just fine (they make men's shoes wider). You can always try printing out their sizing guide and matching your foot against it to see if the width and length would work. Also, many people wear neoprene socks with theirs, which could add a little more bulk for you to fit it.

That's very helpful. Thank you so much!

The size is actually not that different. I have a photo comparing them but it’s too big to upload sorry. But the Junior is probably only a couple inches shorter than the Women’s sizes.

Yea the child large and women's small are pretty much the same size. I use the child large because it was cheaper, and I am a size 6. Like Luna Dreamtide said above the child large is just a bit shorter.
