| Just looking for some feedback on these boots! Are they hard to get on in the big sizes? I am putting them on a 139 xenon Infra. I think it will be a sick setup they are my first pair of boots in over ten years of kiting. Man they were expensive! |

wayne I wear size 10 and have the same board/boot combo but in size 11s. the infra has great pop and works in the lightest of conditions.
everyone I know that have relik boots (about half dozen or so up here in seattle) all say the same thing. go up one full size.
last year I rode the franks in size 10 and my toes always felt curled in the tips.
if you got ronix questions hit up darren wiley at wiley's in seattle. He can tell you about the larger sizes.

If your feet are that big I would think about riding a bigger board. A lot of my friends are riding 142s and are pretty average sized dudes.

| I am 6'4" and 210 pounds. I already bought the board I hope it's not to small:(. It seemed like a big board I usually ride a 132 lunacy. Inept-fun do you know of anybody that might want to trade a 140 something for a mint condition infra 138? Why do you need a board so big to go with boots? |

I agree with Ian.
Get a bigger board.
You can't go wrong with ronix.
Well worth the money. |

| can someone please tell me why you need a bigger board with boots? I thought boots were just a preference regardless but it sounds like if you wear boots you need a bigger board due to the last post! Just inquiring as I was thinking of trying boots to give me a more locked in feeling! thanks |

| Do you think it's worth my time to use the rest of the season until I can afford or trade for a 148? Thanks for the replies! |

If you can, just ride the board you have. board sizing is really just preference. I know a guy that is 6'3'' that rides a 134.
The only problem is with boots, for some reason it's harder to go upwind in light wind. an oversized board helps for this. Or you could just ride lit
