My feet were getting cramped in my boots as well. It wasn't the flippers though as they are usually made to cover a large variety of sizes.
My problem was my waders although breathable, had a thick neoprene stocking foot. I do wear wading boots and always have.
I even went as far as to buy my boots two sizes larger.
I finally realized, the neoprene booty in the wader was way bigger than my foot. SO, I pull up on the heel and slide my foot in the boot....no more pain at all.
No offense to TD, but I know he wears a large shoe, so chances of buying waders with a booty that is too big is probably not an issue, but it is an issue if you say wear a size 9 and the booty is for a 9 to a 12. It is too much material.
I wear Force Fins and Omega Diving fins and like I said, I don't think it is the fin, but with a soft booty it could be squishing.
Have you thought of regular wading boots?
One other thing, do not EVER eat beans before putting on your waders:
