Hey everyone, I was looking for some info on what boots people have used that are best at preventing shin bang. I am currently using a pair of Dolomite Sintesi 8.5's and they are not a bad pair of boots, but after a couple of days in the park my shins are pretty wrecked up. Any info would be great.

Hey dude, I'm running a pair of Atomic Beta low calf with flex index 5 (I think), they're really great aye. I've kicked the crap out of myself all season and summer on them and they've been awesome. I'd definatley recommend them.

just get your boots fitted by a professional, cause if you boot is too big, or you dont have a snug enough boot, you will get shin bang. I myself prooly ride one of the stiffest boots on the board (Nordica Beast with a flex index of 130, and Lange World Cup with a flex of 150 when its warm and 160 when its cold) I have had the boots fit to my feet correctly, custom footbeds made, and alingment corrected and I never get any shin bang.

yeah, rossi softs are pretty sweet, also look into the salomon 1080 boot, the one with the gold buckles, they are the park specific boots. the pro model (blue buckles) are still sweet, its what im skiing on, but are significantly stiffer and better for all mountain.

i have rossi XX and i haven't had shin bang yet. Proper fit is key though, aswell as doing them up really tight.
