The words shinbang and fulltilts should never appear together. NEVER

I never got shin bang with my Bumble Bees. Instead, they gave me excruciating pain on the sides and backs of my calves.

Go to a bootfitter. No boot fits every foot, no foot fits every boot.

shinbang is a myth with boots that fit properly. well almost, if you land backseat a lot, you are going to get shinbang no matter what boots you wear.

if you care just drill holes and move the rack for the buckles back. slippers sound so uncomfortable

yeah they are expensive
the cheapest ive seen them is on ns

id invest in the boots and get them new and
make sure FTs are right for you
they dont work for everybody

shin bang is a real issue with me too, a boot fitter at a local shop told me that if you strengthen the muscle on the front of your shin then the problem will dissapear
