If it works with your feet/fins, then no worries.
I did the "Hey, I think I would like booties that are also like boots thing" and signed out the model you pictured. They ended up being too bulky for me...too much of a focus on performance on-land and not enough focus on performance in the water.
I am so thin I don't use XL fins. The cup in the large fins I typically wear simply did not accommodate my foot in those booties. If yours do then fantastic.
If you decide to get different booties nearly everything will perform fine. I typically look for a hard sole without excessive thickness (no padding other than the neoprene). I have always purchased fins with side-zippers because they are much easier to put on, but the zippers often break/unzip while finning which doesn't make the booties come off (they are held on by your fins at that point) but is really annoying as your booty will start to feel like a parachute attached to your ankle. My solution has always been to just put a rubber band around the top of the booty.
