either they dont fit your feet right, or you have them to loose in some places and to tight in some. they need to be evenly tightned and fit your feet pretty snuggly

I'd try getting them as tight as you can on the first three buckles, and then obviously the top buckle and strap. This could be a boot problem, but ive heard nothing but good things from the Agent boots. What flex do you have?

If you're getting calf bang I would think its because you're riding backseat, maybe try to fool around with your fore aft balance? Other than that I have no idea, I've never gotten calf bang.

id agree with this, either that or maybe your boots just arent right for you?

that could be a possibility i have taken them to some boot fitters and some people say im in a race fit because only one finger fits behind my foot in the shell and others say that it is a perfect fit and shouldnt be bigger

i just got some new smart wool socks that have padding on the calf and shin. it really seems to help and you dont really loose control with them either so so far they have been amazing. i would pick a set up its worth a try
