Booster Straps

I searchedbar a bit and I also wanted to know how does it help? cause they basicly do the same as a boot strap so why does it help? and can we buy them in Canada? + K for help

put your power strap under the plastic, directly against the liner if you can. that solved my shin bang issue. i have boosters also, and they're a little weird at first.

My Rossi boots were giving me major shin bang and I took them to Surefoot here in town.  The boots were to lose around my shins and I couldn't tighten them any more.  To solve this I got some neoprene inserts attaches to the liner between the shell to take up some space and a booster strap.

The booster strap was xplained to me as similar to my standard strap on my boots, but better because the standard strap uses velcro and when pressure is exerted on the strap the velcro spreads, loosening the strap. When the pressure is released the strap does not tighten back up to its original position.  I swapped to the Booster strap and I can now get my boots so tight I can cut off blood flow to my foot. 

I am still trying to find the perfect balance on the strap and buckles on my boots, but my shin bang is noticeably going away.

Hope that helps.

im not 100 percent sure but i dont think booster straps will fit on spks. Someone should know.

you can fit booster straps to any ski boot...may be gettho and require a little bit of driller to put a new spot to mount the boster strap in the back but it should work out okay..

Shin bang comes from your boot not being in constant contact with your leg.  As you flex, your shin moves freely for a split second and then "bangs" against the front of your boot.  By using strong elastic, booster straps keep your boot and leg in constant contact.

Even if they didn't get rid of shin bang, boosters would be worth it for the improvement in performance they provide.  Because your leg is not moving freely within your boot, energy is transferred more efficiently from you to your ski.  Better energy transfer equals livelier skiing as less power is wasted in the material between you and your ski.
