well, somehow, i got a 3.7, so my parent said they would match what i pay for my boots. i was thinking full tilts, or maybe the spk's, or even a pair of dalbellos?

In the end, no matter how fitted your boots are, if you land backseat you will get some shinbang, doesn't mean the boots aren't right for you. My suggestion is to head to a boot fitter and try on several boots and walk in them, see how you feel etc etc. Take your time and make a decision based on fit.

Landing properly in properly fitted boots will stop shin/calf bang.

full tilts will not help you if you have really skinny legs and ankles: the ratchets for the buckles won't slide over enough to really get your shit tight.

narrow feet-full tilt
medium feet-nordica/darbello
wide feet-salomon spks!

if you have wide enough feet get the spks. if you get the right size you shouldn't get shin bang.

theyre adjustable, i dont mean the ratchet but on the other side of the cable where its attached to the boot. i for one have the skinniest bird legs and can get size 30 FullTilt booters tighter than they need to be and still ahve room in the ratchet to go tighter

NO! go to a shop, get fitted, buy from said shop, mold liners. in that order! if you must buy from the internet, still go to a bootfitter first and get sized up for the boot you think you want, make sure it fits perfect, then order it and get it moulded... just make sure you get the right size...

I would recommend the Full Tilts. I got the Bumble Bee Pros this season and I bought them off the internet without getting them fitted and I never went to a boot fitter and they're still the best boot I have ever had ( I would not recommend this, but there was a great deal and I just got lucky ). Since I've got this boot, I have practically had no boot bang ( you can't completely get rid of boot bang, but it has GREATLY reduced it ). Also, this is a very narrow boot and its most comfortable if you have a narrow foot.
