We also give our thoughts on excess calf and sock material that is common with nearly all drysuits and why we believe this is an problem.

To me there is nothing better in the world than a well fitted comfortable dry suit. Well… maybe the feeling when you get to the surface and pull the zipper and get that sweet pressure / squeeze release.

I’ve always used gators to compress the calf area dry suit material.

I solved my issue with warm and cold water fins buy going the route of Decathlon hiking boots, the cheapest ones, 3mm neoprene sock for warm wet suit use, and a sealskin sock, trilam drysuit sock and the same boot for winter use. And I use xDeep EX1 hard fins in XL. I wear size 46EU, so it's a perfect fir, with a lot of space for the boots in the fins. I did however remove the tongue of the boots to make them dry easier and be easier to put on or off. They're are currently on their whole year, 100dive and still holding up.

I had a bit of trouble buying drysuit boots (in Australia) recently. Ended up with (expensive) Apeks boots - I would have ordered those thinner and easier to don ones you have there.

Exact same size as Vas too - we probably bother have wide feet? I have to use a XXL Jet Fin which suprised me. XL just wouldn't fit the boot.
