I'm going to start this off by saying "Yes, i know get what fits and go to a boot fitter." but i want to know what works best for you in terms of preventing shin bang. Right now im having a terrible time with my nordica shit rod whatevers. Its to the point that i cant ski more than 5 hours a day and then cant ski at all for the next week. So NS, what boots give you the least amount of shin bang? (search bared)

no boot reduces the chance of "shin bang". Any badly fitted boot could potentially hurt your shins.

The best way to get a comfy boot, is go buy what is recomended by a good boot fitter and let them actually fit the boot for you.

last year i got to full tilt booters, i hated them, got bad shin bang all the time, went to a shop, tried on some more boots (this year) and decided that my foot isnt too wide and got the hot doggers, it took a while to break them in but after 10 days or so of skiing they feel great and havnt got any shin bang yet, but all and all, get a boot that fits homie

What I do, and everyone else should too, is take an iron pipe to your shins for a few months before ski season. Just beat the living fucking out of them! It will kill all the never endings, and you will never get shin bang again!

when racing horses get run to hard they get "shin bang" (the backseat landing kind) and to prevent them from slowing down from pain they kill the nerves in their legs and the horses will run until their legs snap.

It is the same shell and the same liner. Does not take the second coming of Einstein to figure out they fit the same.

The goalie on my lacrosse team had me hit him in the shins with my stick before everygame. Also I heard a rolling pin works well. Or not landing backseat.
