Hi all, newbie girl diver here.

I'm looking for fin recommendations for small sized feet (EU 35). All of the fins (Mares Volo, Mares Quattro) that I was initially interested in didn't come in XS. and the S won't even fit with 3mm booties. Preferably paddle fins too.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Hi all!

That is about a US 4.5.I do plan to try more in MIDE. Do they run out of sizes too early?

I was looking inititally for full foot, paddle type fin with reasonable power but not too stiff. But at my size, I think my choices are limited. and I did manage to fit into the Mares Plana Avanti Excel XS so that will be my last option.

Definitely going to consider thicker booties/wearing neoprene socks with full foot, if its going to help with fitting! I can fit into size 5 or 6 booties, my ankles are just too narrow.

So far I do have in mind to check these out at MIDE (since I found them to be available in smaller sizes)
- Oceanic Viper
- Tusa Solla
- Mares Volo Race with booties/ thicker socks
- Aqualung Shot FX
- Gull mew and Gull coco

Any opinion?

Thanks very much!!!

X-stream is slightly out of budget for me unless MIDE can get good price.

Never met anyone using Tusa fins. But the few reviews available online say good all rounder fins that are powerful yet easy on legs. Hmm.... really hope to make a good choice so I wont end up buying new fins every MIDE.

Budgeted 300 for a full foot.
If really got any open heel with favourable fit and recommendations willing to part with up to 400, then plus about 50 for bootie. Are my expectations okay? I was told by my diver friends MIDE deals can be more than 20% off retail based on past experiences.
