Anyone else having a hard time on the 480, after being on "lighter" NB's, such as the 440 v1, or 600, or even 508?
I can't shake the feeling that the 480 feels a bit too fat and bulky. I thought boardfeel would not be an issue, but it kinda seems to be. Was hoping that they would start to break in after a few sessions, but they keep feeling stiff and heavy. I know, it's the nature of the shoe in a way and many people love it, but still.
As a comparison, I wore a fresh pair of 440 v1's today that I had had on ice for ages. They felt instantly great and the boardfeel was pretty much perfect.
It's funny. I thought I had hit a cornucopia with NB# after having a blast on so many of their models. I mean, best shoes ever in my opinion, yes -- but clearly not all of them are for everyone. Duh, I guess.
Ergo: I'm a thin shoe guy? Not that I'm into vulcs, mind you. But should prolly give the 306 a try...
