These fins are wonderful. I have a size 15 foot and these fins have a huge foot pocket on the XL size. I have more than enough room to fit my big ol foot in with a bootie. The quick release is great very easy to use with out a glove, I think it might be a little tougher to use with a glove. The quick release isn't really a release it expands on a double hinge so you can keep better control of your fins in a current or in the surf. They also propel me through the water with great ease. They flex alot so you get more thrust with little effort. Thanks Mares for a great product and thanks Divers-supply for carrrying them
