Hi, i just saw a thread about those liner from full tilt and i searched around and on Fulltiltboots.com, and they said that liner can fits all brand boots so they will fit mine ? Some head Edge +11 ... What is the difference between those liner and the liner of my normal boots ?

Do they eliminate shin bang because this is the only problem with my boots or liner have no connection with the shin bang..?

So if they can eliminate the shin bang, which one of those are the best for that ? because i really don't know...

full tilt uses an intuition liner, you can buy them online at their website, when probably fitted they are sex for your feet.

the liners are super comfortable, especially when heat molded to your foot, as for eliminating shin bang, they probably won't.  full tilt's "shinbangless" boot can be attributed more to the tongue that flexes in front of your shin.  for example, when you land frontseat, you shin takes less abuse cause the flexing tongue absorbs more of the impact than another boot that just lets you shin smash into a more rigid plastic that wraps around your leg.

another thing that may be a problem for you, if your calves are too round, and intuition liner may not fit your foot well since they wrap around your leg.  If they are not large enough to wrap around thoroughly, it may lead to some uncomfortable pressure points in tightened boots.

when in doubt, go talk to your local bootfitter and see what they suggest for getting your foot into a boot that is most comfortable for you.  try to talk to an older employee of the shop, cause it's more likely they have been fitting boots for years.

don't land backseat and you won't have shing bang, but get a booster strap, its cheaper then new liners and will do a better job

Sorry if you keep seeing me post this, but people keep asking about shinbang and these are the main causes of shinbang. You need to know that not only 1 thing causes it. If you have it, examine this list:

-not having a footbed
-boot is wrong size (usually too big than too small)
-continually landing backseat
-having a gap between the tongue of the boot and your shin, either because you have chicken legs or simply because the tongue just doesn't match up to your leg
-boots that are too soft for you
-boots that are too stiff for you
-boots that are too low on your leg

so, if you do the opposite of what I just wrote, shinbang is most likely not going to happen to you. As you can tell, a properly fit boot is your best bet against getting shinbang.


Will a new liner help reduce shinbang? Perhaps. If it helps make a better interface between your leg and the cuff, then it could at least help you out. But you are better off checking things from this list first than running out and buying a new liner.

- i have a footbed but is it better to get the yellow one that they sell at every shop ?
- my boots are correct size
-i land backseat sometimes and after, it hurt so bad when i land in every position
-i don't know if i have a gap between the tongue of the boot and my shin but i will try to tight my boots at the maximum
- i don't have chiken leg, they are massive, i tried 31.5 full tilt boots, the Wallish one and i can't strap the strap because my leg are to big so the strap is to small and doesn't make he outline of my leg...
-my boots are a little stiff
-i don,t know if the boots are low on my leg..

Just to say about your list

If you have the normal insole that cam with the boot, you do not have a footbed.
To cheack the size take the liner out the boot and put your foot in, there should be about 2cm space behind your heel, and around 5mm or space either side of your forefoot.
Landing backseat hurts unfortunalty
Just tightening your boots will not garentee a good fit on your leg, there may be more space at the bottom then at the top for example.
Big calfs need extra fitting on theboot usally, the shell can be adapted but it requires a vist to your freindly boot fitter.
The edge 11+ is a pretty soft boot, how much do you weigh, how tall are you and what size boots do you wear.
Boot fitter

So as you can see really a trip to the boot fitter it is for you.

I imagine then half the issue is the size of the boots, You should be able to felx Edge 11+'s easily so what has proberbly happened, is the boot fitter has seen big calfs and has just upsized you untill you fit into a boot, rather then correctly fitting the correct size boot. Big boots becuse they dont match the shape of your feet and legs can feel very stiff as you do not flex them as they were designed.

Dont bother buying intution liners, by the sounds of it there is much more going on with your boots then just the fit of the liner.

Go see a bootfitter and see if anything can be done for your old boots or if you need some new ones. Sorry its the only option

Depends on how sore they are. The best thing is to just give them rest, let them heal before you go pound on them again. BUT if you are not in the right boot for you, all the exercise and strengthening won't help you out. Your best bet is to make that 2 hour drive to the boot-fitter. Someone needs to see your foot/leg in the boot to take this to the next step.
