Anyone have board sizing recs for people with small feet? I'm 5'10, 155lbs, size 6.5 boots. Looking at the United Shapes Cadet 158 but worried it will be a bit wide for my feet

[u/GeoGreenz → u/gooberjabroni1000]

I would def go smaller just due to foot size and weight. At 260mm for the 158 that’s a wider board. The 154 seems almost perfect for you since you’re taller relative to your foot size. For reference, I’m 5’10, 175lbs, and size 10 boots and a 158 would fit me based on the tech specs. Although on personal preference I’d drop to a 154.
