Strip: modifying plans for 'Big Foot'

'A Friend' (hehe) is looking at building a stripper, and likes the Outer Island from Uncle Jay. He's 6'4", weighs around 200#, wears size 14 shoes. Apparently Uncle Jay has indicated those size flippers won't fit in the Standard OI - but despite an exchange of emails, my 'friend' says he hasn't received clarification. So being such a great guy, I told him I'd ask here.

Presumably the correct approach is to simply enhance the superior aspect of the forms going forward, to allow some wiggle room. Are there any particular guidelines, or is it trial by error?
