Thanks, i bought a Burton boot that was the wrong size because it was 50% off on a blow out sale. never again, my heel lifts off the back and puts all the pressure on the top arch of my foot, hurts like hell sometimes.
Know your EU foot size - all brands ‘regular’ sizes differ, e.g. a UK 8 for Burton is not the same as a UK 8 for ThirtyTwo etc. But EU sizes are correct - it may mean that the UK/US size it says on the box is a half size bigger than you’d usually get, but that’s because it’s wrong/mislabelled. Ignore those sizes, go with the actual EU size that’s accurate for your foot. Mines a 41 - that’s 7.5 for ThirtyTwo & a 7 in Burtons (Burton sizes are generally pretty good on my experience, but their boots can be a bit ‘meh’ overall
Ciao, I have a 12 foot, you can recommend a low profile boot to not touch during carving ( i have wide board but with +18 and -6 degrees i touch little bit )
Check out knapton boards.... Ryan knapton actually hit the high tops of his bindings on a heel carve on industry standard wide boards. Ride boots probably have the smallest profile out of any boot... pair them with a warpig? And you aren't toeing out with size 14's
@1:42 (way too close to the front) When your toes are too close to the front of the boots, your toes can't wiggle and they will get hurt after a few hours on the slope. Should have a little room about 0.5 inch so you can feel comfortable for the rest of the day.
So well done I was ready for a full length feature film

Any specific recs for flat feet?

I ½ sized down to minimize pack out & ended up with blue big toe for a season. Not worth it.
Team twos are good boots.
