For reasons of funding and accesibility I have the choice of either the Voile Mojo or the Poacher from Atomic. The problem is that I have size 11.5 size boots, and the width on either is probably not enough. I ride the Burton Drivers for boots, which are supposed to have the boot sole lenght of a size smaller boot (10.5 for me).

The Mojo has a waist width of 25.5 (at 166cm length) and the Poacher has a waist width of 25.0 (at 164com length). I'd prefer to get the Poacher, but as the bindings are so low to the board, the overhang matters a little more. I measured the overhang at 1 3/4". This overhang allowed the board to get to a 50 degree angle before the boot made contact with the floor. When I called Atomic, they said that this overhang is within average.

So finally my question is this: is it a bad idea to get the Poacher with that much overhang? If it a bad idea, is there any way to make it work?

Let me know what you figure out,
Thanks

i'd go with the mojo. toe drag sux.

why do you prefer the atomic?

I dont really have sound reasoning behind wanting the Poacher. It comes down to the stiffness of the Mojo, it seems much more than I need. I feel like the board I ride now allready is really stiff (Lib Tech Skunk Ape), and the Mojo is far more than that. Im feeling more and more like the Mojo might be a better idea though.

I wear a size 12 boot and ride a 166 mojo and I dont have a problem. You should be fine especiallyy sine your Burton boots have the smaller foot print.
