I have to agree on mid-wide as well. Size 11 boots are kind of in the “nice zone” ofbeing able to ride all 3, depending on your stance and riding style.Its kind of a nasty little formula when you factor stance in. By the books, I'd leanon mid-wide at the narrowest. That way you can ride narrow, or wide in your stanceand not have a big amount of toe/heel drag. Then again if you know you ride a widestance, you might be able to get away with riding a regular (over all board length willalso effect this). Best way to test this theory is, pick the board length that you want.If you've been riding long enough to link turns and enjoy riding, you probably have agood idea of your ideal board length, no matter what a size calculator tells you. Rentone from the rental shop and ride your natural stance. What really feels comfortable.If you feel your toes or heels drag

Rentone from the rental shop and ride your natural stance. What really feels comfortable.If you feel your toes or heels drag, or if it looks like you have severe toe/heel drag(boots hanging way over both sides of the board), then step up!Testing is always better than regretting. Everyones riding style is different, whichmakes it hard to completely dial it in. But by the natural law of snowboardingfacts, yes. A mid-wide is the way to go. Now its up to you to see if that is true or not.Good luck! Do some tests, and get back to us! We'll get this solved somehow bro!
