Couldn't agree more... i ride a size UK10.5 on a std width Endeavor B.O.D and have never had a problem..
It totally comes down to the design of the board...
If you go to the section on boot sizing...there is some really good charts on this page:

It's good to see some honest and informed advice being dished out, too much holiday knowledge and brands recommended by some who has only ridden 1-2 brands. Some of it is just dangerous and seriously un informed |

| I like the look of those DEL MAR boots. How are they for heel hold and for moulding to the foot without a liner being there? |

Yeah it is a bizarre feeling... but they worked well for me - hence why we brought into them 
I think the nicest thing that I found was how close you feel to the board, especially when using them with a set of SP bindings that - shock horror - we were also buying into that year...
The only thing i would say is that they are fairly soft, so you really need to use them with the TPS shield to stiffen them up slightly if you want to use them for all mtn riding...  |

not to be controversial, but without knowing what size width board, and what boot, its not that well "informed"...
A UK size 10.5 and a standard width board... I can guarantee that if you put down a deep carve or drop into a pipe your going to get toe drag and run the risk of washing out.
you still need a board with a reasonable width, no good getting something with a 24.5 waist if your riding burton moto's in a 10.5 |

Well I'm yet to have a problem with my setup...
You have basically just reiterated what i was getting at....... you need to go on the specific dimensions of a board and not simply go for a "wide" because that's what it says on the tin...
100% agree that the boot, angles etc... need to come into the decision too!
A very general dimension on a size UK 10.5 is a minimum of a 25cm waist - which is the same waist as my b.o.d and it works fine with my wide stance, +15 -15 angles and Rome Libertine boots  |

its still more information than 'your a UK 10? oh wide board then' |
