Aqua Lung Hotshot Adjustable Strap Fins

Maria:

I am very short, just under 5 feet and I use the sling shot fins. I have tried many other fins and I feel these give me the best control... but they tire my legs out and I wonder if they are really too long for someone my size. So now I see these hotshot travel fins which are 4" shorter but Im worried my boots wont fit into them. I live in New England and waters cold-I use Henderson H2 7mm No Zip Boot SKU: HNDBH27 Would you be able to tell me if these boots will fit into the hotshot fins? What are the size differences (between a small & regular?) Would sizing up be a good idea? Any info would be great, thanks,

I have these fins but they dig holes in the back of my ankles. What are the best socks to avoid abrasion but not cramp the foot pocket? Turns out Duct tape wraps are not a fashion statement.
