Is there anyway I can stop my shin from hurting or temporarily fixing it like put foam in my boot or something?

soccer shin pads? a sponge isn't gonna do that much for the force that is applied to your ankle

this works for me pretty well to strengthen my shins. in school or anytime when Im sitting down. I put my heels on the floor and move my feet from the floor to as high as I can get it as close to my shin while keeping my heel on the ground. Do it in like sets of a few minutes adn it really helps.

Also sponges, really tight boots work.

are you the retard? SHIN PADS. As in over your shin, not ankle. i have ones from when I was a kid and they just cover your shin and are held in place by straps and your socks, they don't even touch your ankle

Booster Straps and/or Eliminator tongues. I use both because I have really skinny calves and shin pains are a thing of the past.

the point of booster sraps is they are flexible, unlike duct tape

yup yup.

advil, and icing will help with the swelling. also, if you have hairly legs, shave um from the knee down (or all the way). ski socks pull the hair out, and it hurts like hell. feels very similar to shin bang, and can help reduce it to a point.

These threads are pointless, because there's nothing you can do to your boots to prevent shin bang. If you're landing back seat, the force that's being applied to your shin area come from the back of your boot not the tongue. The force in essence tears or irritates the tibialis muscle. All you can really do is not land back seat. Putting a sponge or using a booster strap can only alleviate the problem of landing too forward while landing switch.

I wasn't flaming the guy or anything, I guess rather than saying "these threads are pointless", I should have said that trying to find a solution is pointless, because the mechanics behind shin-bang have nothing to do with the tongue of your boot.
