I see there is a Srsw version is this a womans version?
Is the pad also smaller
I'm a size 8 and when I do the straps tight the ratchet cut into the cover as the ratchet catches it, this is due to having to ratchet down so much obviously not a good fit for size 8
Just a side note, shinn have been contacted and No support given.
Just something to keep in mind
To be fair to Shinn, thats less than 24 hours you have waited. You have to remember that these are generally small businesses and not commerce behemoths with dedicated web support teams. For balance, I asked a few questions about a board purchase (by email) and got a direct reply from Mark within a couple of days.
Surprised you are having a problem with the SRS straps. I'm an 8-8.5 (EU42) and I can still tighten the ratchet probably 7 or 8 times easily past my preferred fitting point. Have you checked to make sure the pin at the base of the fitting hasn't come out? There should be a silver pin that sits between the base and the strap. If that is missing/not located properly then you'd need to overtighten to compensate.

How did you miss the info on the homepage? IT IS RIGHT THERE! Mark will probably still waste time of his day to answer

Would it be possible to see a photo of what your describing
I've always had excellent service when dealing with Shinn. Mark responded personally within a day or so. Bear in mind he's in Europe, so there is a big time difference
Have a few Shinn boards with Shinn sneaker foot pads and the couple of times I've had a problem, Mark has personally responded very quickly and a local dealer provided a replacement part by express post... gear and service is first class!!
Original question regarding the SRSW as in the womens style. It is a smaller pad yes.
I am curious if your pads are set up properly though. Are you confident about that detail? Its just that I have a grom that is rideing a set and his are capable of going very tight and he is a size 7.
When it it comes to shoe sizing it very difficult to use a simple number to define it
With just men's sizes you have US, UK, and European all of them different numbers for the same size
Then you have women's, men's , and kids sizes.
Theres also differences between brands, a UK 9 in a DC shoe is different to a UK 9 in the Merrell shoe.
I also find that I prefer a different size depending on what the shoe is for ie I wear different Uk sizing between my motor bike boot, my dress shoes, and my walking/hiking shoes.
With kiteboarding I would stay away from any any ratchet or boa system of tightening as I find the Velcro systems are a lot more adaptable to my foots length, arch and width.
