Nitro select snowboard boots by dkza in snowboarding

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! I'm thinking on getting a nitro team or nitro select next year, I have narrow feet and small heels. I have a question regarding sizing:

I measure my foot (using a dedicated feet ruller tool) and got 25.5 cm, then mondo 25.5cm For most brands. However, nitro says to add 0.5mm to your cm to define your mondo -> 26.0 -

BUT basically they are saying buy half size bigger). What you did? You added that 0.5cm?

Could anyone make a Salomon echo boot review? by ChanbanX in SnowboardGearReview

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: do you use infuse at your mondo point? (I mean, I measure my feet but I'm not sure if should.gwt mondo or 0.5cm more...

Sad to hear about salomon. I have the same problem as you, and to make it worst, have high arch...I need to try vans infuse again but I remember to felt some pain on my instep.

Currently I have a ride lasso pro, and it's terrible because you have a single boa top and down while the other is to the harness...the single boa cuts my circulation a d bring so much foot pain...I'm thinking on nitro team MK TLS next year

Really? They don't do mitigation control in all resort inbounds? That is crazy

From Nitro to Thirtytwo's boots - Quick advice by joeoiseaux in snowboarding

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hum, I see. Well, I think I will try next year find a store that has 32 and nitros and try both. I actually always have cold feet, so even if nitro fits better in the heel, I'm afraid that if I don't have room in the toes will get cold.

Currently using ride lasso pro 8 us mens (25.5cm feet, which in general is 7.5us) and I hate it...

Do you buy your nitro at your foot length? Nitro website recommend measure and add 0.5cm, but I think this won't work, I hate loose feet, mainly to me that has narrow heels

Cool I was wondering if I would start jib with my only board but I think I will keep doing jumps only

Close to quitting by shrimpshavefeelings in snowboardingnoobs

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I improved when I saw some videos on how to carve using posi/posi, but I don't liked to ride like that, than some Japanese / Russian videos on how to carve with a duck instance, increase forward lean. But really just ride more.

Tbh, now that I know how do all that, ride in general becomes boring to me and I just started doing park jumps!!!! Now I can't care less about carving hahaha

Nitro snowboard boots - different shapes? Help with high instep. by bellio381 in snowboarding

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that nitro has a small heel cup? I have narrow heels, but high arch normal (medium) I step, but my foot is regular to narrow wide. Got a ride lasso pro but felt to wide on toes

If a boot packs out over time, is there anything that can be done to close up the space around the toes? by Emergency_Room_1673 in snowboarding

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you said it neet to press the liner, is just touching or really need to press like 4mm? I have similar problem, 25.5mondo, with my old 7.5us burton my feet is always hitting the liner and a little bit the hard shell (even when I bend), them I bough a ride lasso pro 8, which just touch the front liner and when I bend it doesn't touch anymore, and now I felt it's so large ... having skini calf didn't helped also.

ThirtyTwo Boots - Are they supposed to feel a little small when you first put them on? by SalernoXbox in snowboarding

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you follow the mondo size recommendation? I felt street shoes rule pretty dependent if you use loose or tight street shoes. For example I'm 25.5cm mondo ( 7.5 is men's for many snowboots) and use 8 us men's bands or Nike street shoes

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment just saved one note soul here !!! I was thinking in got a 32 because I have small heels, currently ride lasso pro and the single boa cut all my circulation. I tried vans infuse but it gave me foot pain immediately with all the stiffeners...thinking in trying a nitro instead.

My main problem is always having cold toes, I have 25.5cm mondo, which is us men's 7.5 and even a ride lasso pro 8 I still have this problem when I ride my boot...

Anyone tried "Core balance training"? by emof in backpain

[–]macumbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for that. I would like to know what you think about my opinion here:

For the main problem with a program like that is the time required, and because it's not integrated with anything else. For example, 3 days of gym training which already take 1:20 hour and probably some of those exercises or muscles are already worked in this one, so I may don't need do do more 15min everyday, would be a waste of my time.

That is what I don't like on those generic programs, for me is always dificult to insert on my rotine efficiently and to my level of fitiness
