: Hi John,

Hi again Bill and Fred.

thanks for the replies, as for shoe I am a size 12.

Yes width would be the more important factor Vs length but with selecting a proper width what hull type would fit my useage more??

the 25" of the borealis XL seems canoeish how would you roll it or would it be wet exit only??

23 or 22 would seem to work/be comfortable, I sat in a 19" wide boat over summer (dry) and it was too tight in the hips for me.
