Thanks Tube Dude !
Went on line and found the neoprene cement and full instructions as to how to do the repair . Also had the chance to try on a couple pairs of fins at a used sporting goods store today and am glad I did before I purchased any sight unseen. Appears in general if wearing waders and flats booties even with a size 9 foot that XL size fins would be best. I tried 2 sets on today, one were jet fins and the others a split fin style both in size L wearing only medium weight socks and some lightweight boaters shoes and both were too tight in and around the toes. I am hoping XL fins are roomier inside the foot compartment rather than just longer. NEVER would have made it into these fins with waders and flats booties. Any insight you folks may have in regards to fit and comfort with your particular fins would be appreciated. I would gladly sacrafice some thrust to have the feet be happy after a day of tubing.
