wide board with size 11 that has shrinkage tech

[KungMartin]

EDIT: TITLE SAYS 11, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY 10.5. I'M FROM EUROPE SO I MADE A CONVERSION MISTAKE.

i didn't think about this but i bought skate banana 156w, even though i have a size 10.5 boot, with shrinkage tech (burton moto). did i make a mistake?

and i prefer an honest answer over one that'll make me feel better :P

I know i read some place that a reg skatebanana is a mid wide and can be used with 11 boots. 156 and up once u go to a 152 the waist width starts to get little more narrow

so my board is basically too wide? fuck my life.

edit: i've researched a bit, and from what i gathered a size 10.5 + needs a 26cm waist-width, and my 156w is at 26.5 cm. so with my shrinkage tech boot i think a normal width would have been just on the line. i guess if my board feels too sluggish i'll just need to get a 10.5 without shrinkage tech, and i think i'll be okay.

I could be wrong i never owned a banana but i been doing reading because i been thinking bout getting one to.i boight a gnu carbon credit last year and i to bought a wide cause i wear 11 boots and the cc is same way as banana on waist widths i think.

Pretty much. Typically you only need a wide with a size 12+ foot, certain boards will vary. Good news for the future, you don't need a wide board

i read that a 26 cm waist-width is recommended for a size 10.5+. a normal width banana is at 25,5, so wouldn't have been enough, according to what i read. i'd rather have too wide than too slim

Actual foot size is what's really important. Additionally boards are wider then the waist measurement at the insert packs. Wiredsport has a good post/tutorial about it somewhere on the forum, it may have been stickied.

Example: T.Rice is considered a midwide and is 25.8 at 157.

Thats what i was guna say.the reg banana would be fine but the wide just has only little more width to be on safe side . Just found this topic http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boa...-159-wide.html

here's some pics i took, don't know if you can judge by these if it looks fine or not

You're bindings don't look like they're adjusted right. Your boot look like it is sitting forward of the heel cup. A pic of the base with the boots in the bindings will give a better idea of correct placement on the board. From your pics you might be to far toe side with your bindings.
