buckles are pretty burly

shinbang will only occur if these boots don't fit you.

I'm pretty confident you can get shin/toe bang whatever happens. I definetly got fitted right for my boots, i've never had anything so precise fitting, but  still get it. I haven't had full tilts but i cant imagin why they would be anyworse than any other boot for this, its all about how you land.

Half the time shin bang comes as a result of bad technique - e.g landing backseat.

As for the buckles - no they don't break easily, but if they do then you can get replacements. If they snapped under warranty then you would probably not have to pay for them.

Get fitted.

i have a pair of raichelle's (original full tilts) that are from like the 80's and all the buckles are fine so I would say no they dont break easily... But on my boots there was a plastic raichelle symbol on the tongue by the toe that like clipped through the tongue to hold it on (i dont believe they have them on full tilts) that broke when i tried to kick a pvc tube into another so my tongue just falls off now when i unbuckle them :(
