Hi thanks for the info guys... hope I can sort it out.

Hi thanks very much I was trying the Deeluxe Trac 225. Does anyone know a wide fitting boot ? Thanks

Hi there! I read a few boot fittind threads and I understand the way to select the perfect fitting boot is to measure your foot in cm and choose the appropriate boot size. Ie round down to the next size. Well I was immediately worried by this because of the width of my feet. I measured them and My feet are about 25.5 long and 10 cm wide (both measurements taken at widest part). So I headed to the local shop and tried on a 26 thinking no way am I going to fit in a 25 and wow it was crushing my foot across the "nuckles" at the start of my toe, and it was fairly painful at the widest setting. I then tried 27 which I would say was still crushing the same area although a little less. I thought this is ok BUT after an hour or two on the slopes this might end up quite painful. The other thing I found is the highest part of both boots felt quite loose. I guess its because I am quite skinny. I normally wear 28 softboots and shoes because of my wide feet. Any advice ? Many thanks

Anyone ?

I saw very cheap Nitro Arx 166 in nice condition for sale. Is this an Ok board for a carving begginer to try with softboots ?

Hi there I saw a very cheap old board and wondered if it was worth picking up as a first step into carving. Its a Nitro Arx 1.66 I was wondering if this i Ok for a carving begginer. To start with I would just strap on my normal bindings and use my softboots. Thanks
