I have last years Nordica Ignition boots and on a two day trip to steamboat i got shin bang pretty bad on the second day. the boot fit great and are well broken (about 10 days of riding on them). i get it right at the top of the boot, along the frontside of the cuff. i don't ski in the backseat and i've never had this problem before. any ideas?

This may be a fix, but your also risking poorer circulation = cold feet. Try the power strap right against the liner, if that helps a bit get a booster strap it should help more.
Also tighten your buckles harder. It may make the boot a bit stiffer than you like but you'll get used to it and it'll definitely help. Along with tighter buckles when you put it push the tounge firmly up to your foot then buckle so the tounge isn't getting support on the sides but is instead flush up against your shit. Your basically trying to minimize any movement your shin may have between itself and the tounge.
