Total noodle or, easy to press it ? Why not rocker? Supposed to be better profile for butters etc

are you sure they are too narrow? it is a mid wide board. its worth double checking and measure properly

I wear a size 13US boot! It is difficult for me I think under of 259mm waist width! Or am I wrong?

your boots would probably be fine, many a little toe and heel hang, but you can always adjust your stance

Yes it comes. But they suggest the process flying v ! Anyway you cancel the Bataleon option?

any of them are fine. the bataleon will "feel" a little harder to press until you actually learn how to press boards because it is cambered. The hero stopped being made by burton in 2012 and was replaced by the superhero (which I have ridden and love) it has a flat profile unlike the hero which has a v shaped rocker. stay away from anything that isnt a wide, you will regret it over time.
