I think Pokkis and Whitey have tried, but they do not recommend it, if I remember correctly.

Yes, Harald is right! I have tried that combo some years ago but I did not like it. If you have rather small feet and and you can avoid overhang, just throw away any rules and go out and try by yourself :chinese:

Hmm, after 10 years of hardboots followed by 10 years of clicker boots, I kindoff like them. I can only remember the pain in my feet on long days with hardboots (Burton, Northwave, ...) long long time ago.

26.5 = small or large ?
Doesn't that depends on the stance angles what's possible or not ? (my favourite board a 22/23 cm wide asymmetrical Burton (Ancient M5) with 60/60 angles with 38 cm stance. Not quite regular in my opinion. Can do anything on this 1.50m board, but gaining a "little" weight over the years, and was looking for a board made for my measurements.
1.80 cm (myself), 85 Kg, looking into a Swoard EC 168H maybe 175H.



My only worry is the backside turn, are the boots stiff enough or not ?

Well, maybe I'll just have to try
