How important is it to get a wide board with size 13 feet?

[michelin man]

hey

is it critical or can i manage with a reg size board?

[TerriVPS1]

I sugest you get a wider board or turn your feet so they don't drag in the snow. It really sucks when you catch your toes in a steep area. lol:thepimp:

[RideCraft]

you can run risers on a req board and be alright, or just not care like me and hit shit with your toes.

[sAFETY]

very important.

You'll be pissed if you don't.

i had to get a wider board and ive only got size 11 boots.

[snowboarder]

i had a size 13 foot and run a regular board. I never really noticed my toes catching anything.

[mbking]

don't put your angles at 0 and you should be fine

I'd say get a larger board and you defanately wont regret it. If you get a regular board and your toes catch, then you're stuck with it for a year or 2 OR you have to sell it (and take a loss) to get a wider one:P

ya get a wider board....toe and heel drag blows

If you've got 13s, you need to do two things:
- get a wide board
- ignore everyone telling you otherwise

Additionally, changing your bindings a couple degrees doesn't make much (if any difference). If you have big feet and you're hoping that you can use angles to make them fit, you'd probably have to use 30+ degrees...not exactly a normal snowboarding stance. 13s at 0 degrees are probably as wide as 13s at 20 degrees due to the width of the human foot.

Doubters - prove me wrong.

ya i need to get a new board and im pretty sure im gunna be getting a wider board since i have size 14 feet

[*GiMpY_jR*]

you people all have gigantic feet i have size 10's and i run a wide just because i like being on the board with my entire foot

If you're buying a board anyway, definately pay the premium for a wider one. Really no disadvantage, other than selection.

I wear 13s on a tiny little board. Fine for park and whatnot, but I've caught my toes more than once (and have the burns to prove it) :)

just another thought, youl probably need to get bigger bindings too. some of the bindings dont fit big boots. my Tech Nine Pro model bindings are made for size 9-13 boots. so you might wanna ask about binding sizes too.
