My son wears an 81/2 adult shoe. Not sure which size to get? Lg/XL seems like it might be too big. Are there straps to tighten around the heel?

yes and they BUST off ! I was stuck on vacation with no fins and had to rent some. First time i even put them on.

The straps have a lot of adjustment to them I would get the larger ones to grow into they will still take

The straps are long enough to make adjustments so they can fit perfectly. I would get the Lg/XL and some Neoprene Snorkeling Fin Socks as well.

I remember struggling with the sizes also, between L and XL. Fortunately, I was close enough to an REI store that carried them and I was able to go and try them on. Even then they were pretty close, but I opted for the XL, as they were a little easier to get on and off and fitted well. This link goes to OR's sizing chart: http://www.outdoorresearch.com/en/or-gear/gaiters/womens-crocodiles-42eec71d2c9d39992c3a4d1da2984826.html If your shoe size fits either, I guess my suggestion would be to go for the larger of the two. Good luck.

consider adult sizing instead. my kid is 3.7, weighs 40 and fit nicely to a size 4.

It is for adults (and children with large feet). I wear a ladies 6.5 and they fit well with the adjustable straps set to the tightest limit.

I think he is borderline, he might be able to squeeze in for a little bit before outgrowing soon, esp. if he is tall. I bought XL pairs for my two kids. My daughter is almost 13 but about 82 pounds and short at about 5 feet. She can wear these pretty perfectly. The younger kid is even shorter but weighs more, like almost 90 pounds, and I don't think he's tried them yet but I think it will be a squeeze and he can only wear them this year. For your son, I agree, adult Men's sizes are way too big, the only other option he might have is a women's size XS if you do not risk the Kids XL.

I am a men's size 12. Does anyone have suggestions about whether I should get the L or the XL size? Thanks

Go 1 size up as I did with my daughter. Which fit perfect. Their recommended sizes are small. You can always pad it with extra socks or insoles if its too big.

My daughter wears a size 2 to 3 and I ordered the large. They fit almost perfectly. She is still wearing them now and they are not tight. I had to guess what size would have been good and just winged it personally. So I don't want to steer you down the wrong path. But I would recommend a large or extra large if they have it. You can always use those rubber ankle stickies to place inside the shoe to help hold her foot in if they are too big.

Actually CB I believe the XL start at 14.5 and go over 16+ which I assume 17 should be covered. I got the L which cover up 14.5 but I like it to fit tight on my calves and it gvs just right up to 15" . Hope that helps.Good luck

The straps are adjustable so you should be fine with a size 13 shoe. I have room with size 11 to expand strap. Please hit "helpful" reply if this helped you.

My son wears a 9 wide, and I got the L/XL. It barely fits, very snug. Seems to work adequately well.

I would buy a small. They are a little bulky. I think they should be sold by shoe size not by weight. My daughter only weighs 80 lbs. but, she wears a size 6.5 women's shoe and the regular was the right size for her. I think you will be happy with the small. Good luck. I hope they work as well for you as they have for her. They are wonderful!!

I bought at a local brick and mortar and all they had was the 71/2-10 and I wear 101/2 so I decided to give a whirl since I could take back. Put in a pair of New Balance 998 and they were a perfect fit. So will depend on the shoe so buy the smaller it is hard to trim to an exact fit.

I wear a size 7 to 8 (depending on the shoe) and the S-M fits me perfectly. My partner wears a 10, and it fits him too, but not as well. Their website says L-XL is for men's size 10 and up, and I'd say that sounds pretty accurate.

Yes. The adult / .large size is designed such as to be snug only around your ankles. It does not fit snugly around foot at all. I bought the adult size for 3 11 year old girls. No issues at all.

I'm certainly not an expert but he won't stay a 5 1/2 very long. I can only guess at least a 1/2 size larger. My experience is they are very supportive and probably would not have to be exactly his current size. You might want to call the company and ask them.

I wear an 11 1/2 shoe and a large sleeve. The box says L/XL 10-14. It's very tight on the foot. Normally, I'd suggest a Medium but I'm not sure if it might be too tight.
