yeah i dont think it will stop shinbang. I always get it from falling. Like I'll land waaay backseat and manual for about 10 meters and then wash out. Then my shins will hurt bad for the rest of the day.

shinbang really sucks and supposivly it can be somewhat avoided if your boots fit your ankle right. I have the 1080 boot as well and get it too. Ive found that iceing after skiing and is the best way to avoid it I think there may even be a way to tape your shins to help.

make sure that ur leg can move around in the boot, so make sure the power strap is done up, this will help, also there is really no cure for shin bang with sucks ass but w/e just take a few days off, and i also only get it on my right leg too, maybe its cause i spin to the left and slide left foot forward, who knows

^^well duh you dont get shinbang if you land correctly. what do you think we're doing, not trying to land our jumps correctly. gotta make mistakes to get better.

I have an old pair of Nordica GrandPrix(the really ugly yellow and green ones) They are the only boots that I use that don't give me shin bangs, They are just a really good fit and well broken in.

molded boots really only help for all mountain. they are really comfortable though, so if you have some extra $ lying around, i suggest it

Aight, I got these 'molded' boots your talkin about. Raichle flexon liners and they suck haha. Yes they are warm, yes they are easy to get in and out of but they are flexible as shit and not stiff at all. Yes, i still get shinbang in em and I have booster straps. It doesnt matter what boots you still wil get it unless u find a perfect fit. Im def going wit the teneighty boots ne xt year though. Dont get flexons unless u just want a warm boot and u can get the stiffest tongue they hav, trust me.
