I'm in a pair of the Salomon boots, the F20s I believe, they definitley make your foot narrower which is cool, and they are not nearly as long as other boots but for my size 13 foot I am still on a wide board with them. Definitely the most comfortable boots I've ever had too. As for boards I'm on an all mountian Salomon Patrol right now and am loving it. An inch of setback with the tail just a hair wider than nose. I don't know all the specs of it off the top of my head but it is definitely a very light, thin and responsive board that I'm loving right now.
