Just got my new Cressi Gara Modular fins, and the footpockets turned out to be really big, bigger than my 10-ish year old ones. Ordered European size 42-43, as I had them in my old fins and they fit my 40ish feet snugly when wearing 3mm socks, perfect for open water use. But the new ones are really huge! The footpockets are really loose, even with socks, although the stated size is the same (42-43) on both fins. There are some trifold rubber straps for fixing the fins to the feet, and they work fine, but maybe thicker socks would be necessary, too.
It seems that the new sizing already implies the use of socks, at least that would make some sense. I normally have something between 39 and 41 without socks, depending on the footpocket shape, and the new 40-41 should be ok, if I use socks. Just something to keep in mind, I think.
Anyone else noticed this? And how do you choose your fin size? Any hints?
