The sizing corresponds to standard shoe sizes.   Running shoes tend to run somewhat small the running shoe size will not necessarily be your correct fin size. Select your size based on a men's dress shoe or a woman's walking shoe (a pump or a flat).

If your shoe size is in the middle of the fin size range:  For example, if you are a women's size 9, a size E  (8-9 1/2)   would be correct.

If you are between sizes: For example, a men's size 10 could fit either an F 8 (1/2-10) or a G (10-11 1/2). To choose the best fit,    then the width of your foot or the prominence of your instep determines whether you should choose to size up or size down. 

Average width foot: If you have an average width foot (medium width or up to a C width) then you should choose the size  F   (8 1/2-10). 

Wide foot or high arch:  If you have a wide foot, a D or E width or wider, or a high arch (high instep), then you should choose the larger size G (10-11 1/2).  

It is not unusual to develop some soreness on the top of the foot when first using a fin.  Please read the information on blisters on the Zoomers page in paragraph D.  To learn the difference between Red and Blue Zoomers and which model will work   best for you, click here.   To learn about the kick and how it works, click here.
