Hey
I got the nordica supercharger boots from last year (08/09) and i can't feel my shin anymore...
So I decided I want some new boots! I know Full tilt is supposed to be sick.. but i feel like everyone is buying full tilts this year . I was just wondering is Full tilt really the best boots out there for park skiing, and if not what could be good? remember : no more shin bangs.
ps. I know theres already a whole lot of FT threads and i know it depends on how the boot fit me, just pretend they all fit the same

Thanks !!

ill be the first, but i doubt the last, to say GO TO A BOOT FITTER. everybody has a different foot, and each boot fits people differently. go to a boot fitter at a ski shop, tell them you want a more park orientated freestyle boot, and let them fit you with one! it will work the best, feel the best, and perform the best.

and since you're new imma give you a little hint. use the searchbar in the upper right corner if you have questions that thousands of other people have already asked

Stop making stupid threads there are so damn many threads a bout Full Tilt
Steps to no shin bang:
1. No stupid FT thread
2. Go to a boot fitter
3. Buy a boot that fits
if shin bang persists with a boot that is properly fit
4. don't land backseat
5. try booster straps

No more of these threads please

don't buy a new boot if you don't need one.  spend $30 and buy a booster strap it'll solve all your problems.

if your buying new boots anyway i've heard that full tilts are great for this, i don't have them buy i heard there good.

also, people should stop saying that the only reason people wear full tilts is because twall has them.  maybe people just want them because there good boots

If this was directed at me, I in no way said that.
I am saying that FT is not the be all end all boot, maybe its is if it fits right, but there is no way at all to tell if it will from kids on the internet. If you want a boot that will solve your foot or shin problems go to a professional and get fit, it may be FT or it might not.

I'm the inventor of the Shintronic (www.shintronic.com). It is not only about preventing 'shin bang' (which they do almost 100%), but you will enjoy the power. grip and control effects as well. Not happy, just reply! We made some changes by leaving the outer padding away this season (better fit, less volume, less pressure) and we provide an optional elastric strap preventing sliding up. If you have any specific questions, do not hesistate to ask via info@manoove.com . We receive very positive reactions from the Park etc.
