To add a bit to my last post I'm also considering possibly getting a new deck I'm riding a 7.5 now but I was wondering if a 7.75 would be to wide? I wear a size 10-11 shoe and its getting increasingly harder to skate on my 7.5

It's all preferance. Some people will say to get a bigger board width bigger feet, but it's up to you. I have size 14's and I skate 7.5.

wider decks are better for pools/vert and shit, smaller decks are better for street and shit, cuz they flip easier. i dont care tho, i ride a 7.75 usually, i have 11's, but ill rid e a 7.5 or 7.65, or a 7.785 or 8 evenm sometimes

7.62 but perfer 7.75. I skate park and street and 7.75 brings out the best in my skating. 7.5 doesnt even feel right anymore.
