I have tried on the highfives and they were a bit to stiff for me, but I need to get new boots either the hotdoggers or the booters. I have Salomon foils and they are pretty flexy and they give me the WORST Shin bang ever, I get to stay home from school today because I went skiing yesterday and I woke up this morning and couldn't take more then 4 steps with out bringing tears to my eyes. I ride park 85% of the time, and when im not in the park im skiing pow, I need a boot that is flexy but not to flexy and not stiff. The highfives i tried on fit my feet perfectly. and the searchbar didnt help much.

Thank you I will def do the shin strengthening, This is all true I ride my anthems in pow once in a while. but usually my obSETHeds for  pow. My foils are 2 sizes to big (dont ask why) but i dont ski or land back seat. I tried FT and they fit me perfectly.

Boots that are 2 sizes too big will definitely help in making your shins absolutely hate you

ive heard a lot of good things about the booters comfortability, but ive also heard a lot of good things about the doggers.

i dont think you could go wrong with either one, i ride dalbello raves and they are pretty good, i dont really get shinbang, toe bang sometimes but thats a rarity, but they are a bitch to put on. so im thinking about some fulltilts for next season once i get myself outta my financial drama

i got some gnarly shin bang breaking in my Raves (which happened to be on a two week ski trip in NZ). they started packing out a ton and were a little big. I got some stuff put in them so they fit better now. i get occasional shin bang, nothing terrible, and no toe bang. they are also extremely easy to get in and out of
