Has anyone tried on the Deeluxe Suzuka as well as the Raichle 224s? If so, does the fit vary at all? I'm trying to figure out if a 224 mondo 26 would fit me. I was able to try on a Suzuka 26.5 which felt comfortable and not overly roomy but my foot was able to move just a little bit and I could feel my heel lifting a bit. Burton Winds in a 25 were way too small and crushed my whole forefoot.
So if the Suzuka and 224 fit very similarly, then I guess a 26 in the 224 would fit. If, however, the 224s fit a bit bigger than the Suzukas, a 26 would be too big.
Anyone have input on this one? thanks

You're probably okay, however, a couple of points to take into consideration.

1) The shell length between models may be different which could be an issue to fit

2) The wrap (AFS) version can fit differently than the traditional tongue version. I find the AFS to have a narrower toe box.

Again, you're probably okay but if you can try on first - that much better the confirmation
