Are they not made for us smaller-feet-folks?

Is it just more fin than we can handle?
They are designed to fit over drysuit boots, although mine work fine with wet boots.

Oh - ok....that makes sense....
so a woman, say me for instance,
with my size 8 women's feet, and size 8 women's (wet) boots probably aren't going to have much luck with them? - or do you think there's a chance?

According to the OMS site, they come in M, L XL, andXXL, but I don't know what is actually available in shops. And I would try them on before buying with your (realtively) small shoe size.

Thanks!
Oh - Hey!
It looks like my favorite LDS just might carry these....I'll do a little sweet talking and see if I can't talk them into letting me try some out.
I appreciate the help!

That's all they make right now.. They have been talking about making smaller sizes for a year, but they haven't done it.. To be honest, in regular tennis shoes, I wear an 8.5. In dive boots, I wear a 10-11 for some reason. So, I have small feet compared to most guys. I have a thick soled Boot and the XL's fit perfect.. I would suggest finding someone with a pair and trying them with your boots and see how they fit. They are definitely NOT more fin that you can handle. I LOVE my Slipstreams..
