Question Rocket Fin Sizeing / "SCUBA Boot" options

Size 13 boot -> 14/15 sneaker = XXL Rocket fins?

Heading to DMO in Feb and (hopefully) just bought the right size off of Amazon. I wrote the school - they have the "one size fits all" Rockets.

I'll have limited time to fin once I get back from deployment, but I can start doing flutter kicks with them on NOW

Also looking at getting a pair of the new Oakley MAROPS / SCUBA boot. Has drainholes in the soles and whatnot - would be better on the deck than booties. Any input would be appreciated.
I haven't "officially finned" in Rockets in 20 years. Am mildly concerned with the bootlaces laces on the forefoot, though I remember the coral booties we used to wear way back when were "OK" to fin in and felt a LOT better than finning in Jungles.

Thanks-
