wow go to a boot fitter, spks and full tilts are on opposite ends of the spectrum for foot fitting.

Although Full Tilts have the advantage of solving world hunger and the nuclear arms race

It will be a lot worse than shinbang if you have wide feet though

no boot eliminates shin bang. shin bang is caused by landing backseat, or riding backseat..

think it was pretty easy to tell he was joking. even a complete noob knows ft and spk's are on opposite sides of the boot spectrum.
