The other day I bought a Arbor Element RX.  I am 6’0” 170 pounds and the people at the shop insisted I get a 159 because of the way the board rides.  However, they were not sure if my boots would be too wide for the board.  I wear size 10 Burton Moto boots.  I found it odd that the “sales experts” were uneasy with size 10 boots on that board but they thought I was crazy for considering a 161 Element.  I mainly ride un-groomed snow (powder, tight tree runs, etc.)  The board width is 25.25 cm.  Should I go with a wider board?  Thanks for any info!

If that is a US10 you’ll be absolutely fine. 25.3 cms is enough width for your boots.
