Even though I have the most awesome converse hi-tops ever made, occasionally I get a blister on my achilles from a fin strap creeping up a bit too far.
If someone has a pair sitting around collecting dust in the HS area this weekend, I'd be interested in taking a look. I'm guessing, if the are made for diving, they probably have either a strap stop or more padding in the back???
Thanks in advance. Reply or PM...

I'll be at amigos for the HOG reg class on Saturday
Bring 'em up. For $25 consider them sold. I'm arriving at Wayne's on Friday night for the weekend. See you there.
Jeff,
If converse is fitting your foot well then the OTB's may not be a good direction. I use OTB's and Dr. X uses converse. I have a very wide foot and she has a rather narrow or normal foot. I have to go three sizes to big at the minimum to get my foot into a converse and even then they aren't very comfortable. We bought Dr. X a set of OTB's and even with all the inserts in them they blew off her feet literally. If you get to check out the OTB's just look out for how well they conform to your feet.
Unfortunately my 4 year old OTB's have lost a sole after a rather hard life. I am now trying to find them for me and can't seem to find the model I like. Seems like they signed an exclusive deal with another company or sold out. I haven't figured it out yet. If anyone has a good link for all their models with decent pricing I would appreciate that as well.
Thanks for the input Bobby. I suppose I would rather have a blister than get blown out of my boots again. (although the first time had more to do with a careless driver than flow in a cave...) I bought my converse two sizes over my normal shoe size and they seem to fit pretty well. But then I do not have a really wide foot to consider. That is specifically why I posted my foot size and not the boot size.
I also understand some manufacturers may make "adjustments" in sizing charts. It would be way too simple if they just posted them for the size foot they are supposed to fit...
Let's see, where will I dive this weekend? Oh I don't know. Maybe Ginnie won't be very crowded LOL
Hey Jeff, I've got something that may work for you. Ill bring it with me this weekend.
