Any Females using the HOG fin?

I have someone here at the office really looking to get her cold water gear. She is really interested in the HOG fins but is unsure what size. She wears a 7.5 shoe. Anyone have these can you give me any insight? I was assuming large

Doesn't it really depend on what kind of boot she has? I would guess large too. I'd be worried anything smaller would not give her enough thrust with a cold water kit.

It really depends on the boots. She could be a large or a medium. I'm a medium in a lot of fins in wetsuit booties or Turbosoles, and a large in dry suit boots or wetsuit boots with a thick sole. (Size 7 shoe)

Agreed, yeah that's why I assumed large. Rock/Drysuit boot needs to be factored in. Thanks LCF with the considerations you offer I believe the Large is going to be a safe bet.

My fiance's size 6.5 feet with some medium bulky drysuit boots fit my size large oms fins, which are about the same foot pocket size as the HOG fins. They fit my feet if in neoprene booties, but I need an xl HOG fin with boots and a drysuit. If the spring straps don't fit right, the xs scuba straps work, are more secure, and are easier to find the right size. I put the hog straps on the oms fins, and put xs straps on the hogs.
