Hello Dominique, you would not wear this with your bare feet. You would need to order the size range that you wear in your dive boots.
dominique:
hi Darrack, I do realise that I need boots, but I am unsure of the usa size compared to the uk.size 7 whether I would need a x/small or small if that makes sense. Thank for your prompt reply.
regards,
Dominique

Hello Dominique. when going with a international sizing on feet. I use this chart http://www.dancesport.uk.com/shoes/conchart.htm. That should tell you what size in US you should wear.

I Like the Oceanic Vortex V-16 fins, but I dont like wearing boots for snorkeling. Is there another fin that would be as good or better that can be worn bare foot or should I just get used to wearing boots?
Thanks, Selby
