I have never owned those boots, but I know several do. If Albino has tried those boots with those fins, then there you go.
I think the hard plastic heel on those fins would hurt with a soft boot. I have those fins and used them for many years and they literally wore out three pairs of boots at the heel. Plus you say hiking, how comfortable will they be for that?
Those boots look more like FLATS boots. They are fine with scuba style fins.
I have seen soft boots that can work better. They actually have rubber at the heel for the fins

some other choices maybe

Again, Albino says he uses "both" of them so maybe I am out in left field.
