Just FYI. My fins and bootie problem is fixed. The lady loaned me the Force Fins back and the neoprene bootie that I had used before and told me to just keep them till I get my own. I am able to see the force fin is an original XXL and therefore can purchase that. The neoprene bootie I really like had the name Glacier Glove size XL. I went to glacierglove.com or sumpin like that....clicking on "Fishing Accessories" brings up the exact boot I want as the first picture! Called them today and ordered. $43.95 plus $6 UPS and she says I will have them in two days. uh...I really like the velcro latching on the outside of the ankle. NO zipper and NO straps. They fitted me perfecto before when I used them, I wore them all day on the lake without even thinking about them, so they work for me. Now I have the exact same things on order. Thanks for the help....especially on the fin choice. Just FYI for others.
