I'm a size 8- are these cut small or big or true to size? Better to have a tighter fit with the fins or be a little big?

Your heal may hang out the back a bit, but they are designed to work like that. I wear an 8.5 and they work great.

I prefer a tighter fit so I don't get blisters. The sizes are pretty true, I think, but since I am a 1/2 size, I went up in size rather than down and got the neoprene dive socks to wear with them ....super comfortable and no blisters. If not wearing the neoprene, then go down if you are a 1/2 size.... backs are adjustable.

I wear an 8.5, and they fit fine. So, I would say true to size. I wore water socks as well with mine.

I am a size 9 and they fit well. It is very easy to adjust the fins while they are on your feet (even when you are floating the the water). The fins are kind of short in length which did not bother me, but my husband thinks the longer fins give you more power.

They are adjustable and a perfect fit is attainable my wife just loves them enjoy

I have a pair and like them a lot. not sure what you mean by 'work'?. they work for me, but can't compare to longer fins as I never owned any.

I wear a size 8 and ordered the large. It fits me, but I am not wearing booties. The fins may work even with booties.

I wear a size 9 in a woman's shoe and bought the medium 7-8 because I thought the fins were in a men's size. It was way too small---very tight. So, I reordered the Medium Large 8-10 and it was perfect. I always wear a fin sock too for blistering. With the sock it was cozy and comfortable.

I think the XS would be fine for you. They fit snugly to go under your fins, and I wear a 7 1/2 US and ordered a S and they were fine for me. You don't want any wrinkles in your socks or else you are going to have blisters on your feet!

I wear a 6.5 and ordered a small. They fit great. The fin strap is adjustable. According to size guide it's small for 5-8 & medium for 8-11.

Comfort mostly if you plan on wearing the fins for more than a few minutes. It also gives you a snug fit otherwise the fins can move a bit when you swim. Also great if the fins are a little big it helps you to fit better.

They size small. I wear men's 11, sometimes 11.5. I bought size 11-13 and they are very tight and uncomfortable. Besides I don't like other aspects of the fins such as the shape, length, and thickness, and returned them.

I bought these fins for my wife. She likes them. Her shoe size is 9.5 and we ordered size 10 which fit fine.

I'm also a 13.5 and because of the adjustable strap, they fit fine. I will say, however, that the strap requires constant retying due to the larger foot size. Also, I've moved to tradition fins because the Positive Drives tend to hurt my knees.

This fins may not fit your feet. The largest is XL (11-13). I wear shoes size 11 and bought the XL. They are very tight and I had to return them.

Sara, I see that you already have one answer. I purchased the fins for my son who is a men's size 10. His were M-L and he never had any problems. There are adjustable straps.

I believe you are talking child size 12. With that in mind I would suggest ex small or small. It is ok to wear a little big they move smoothly threw the water even when big. I am a swimmer not a sales person I could be wrong. Check with sport stores and see if they carry fins that she could try on. good luck. They do help adults and children.

They are medium sized fins similar to the designation of FC 5 type fins . I'll try to take basic measurements later .

i can't speak to the childrens' sizes but adults run small. if you can, buy fins at a store where you can compare features and quality. yes, they're guaranteed and you can send them back but that's a pain in the neck.

It's tough to say....I wear women's 8 1/2 and the medium is very tight. I tried the ML but they were so big they wouldn't stay on, I had at least an inch between my heel and the back of the fin. So for size 8, the medium may work, they also seem to be quite narrow, so if your foot is a bit wide, they may be tight.

Well, according to the box, it seems that their sizing stops at men's size 13. You might be okay getting that size (XL, Blue) but maybe a different fin has that size. My size is right in the middle of the range for my fins (7-9) and would say it's a good fit but a bigger foot would fit just fine.
