New possible shinbang cure

So i stumbled across these shinbang pads at my local ski shop, and they were $29 (as expected). They were simply pads to slip into your shin. So I didn't want to spend that money and so I cut out foot insoles and slipped them in. I haven't skied in them yet, but I'm optimistic that they'll work as they felt pretty comftorable.

Short: Cutout foot insoles to slide into shins for extra padding.

Seems like a temporary fix for a bigger problem.

sounds like they will make it worse...slipping something in your shins will only make you more backseat. slip them behind your calves if anything.

I still think rubbing marinara sauce on your calves is a nice cure.

If you have enough room to put foam in front of your shins your boots probly do not fit right.

booster straps cranked down tight over the liner...and obviously boots that fit and proper skiing technique.

i posted it as a shinbang cure because i thought it could help some people, but my original problem was the overlapping on the intuition liner. sorry if that's misleading.

I've got a suspicion that if I purchase Full Tilts that I will never get shin bang ever. Fuck a boot fitter I just need Tom Wallisch pro models

I use a product called shin shields they're little foam pads that you put in your sock, they really help a lot when used in conjunction with proper fitting boots. The best thing to help with shin bang though is a good custom made footbed, makes such a big difference and just helps secure your foot so much more.

I got them earlier this season. I took a week off, cut a mouse pad in two so I could fit them in my boots, took some advil the day I skied, and tightened my boots up. Worked perfectly and I skied all day.

I have these little gel pads that stick onto your shins and work a charm to alleviate the pain of getting shin bang, and they make it more difficult to actually get it in the first place. To all of you who say if you can fit something in your boot other than your foot they don't fit properly, these pads are probably around 1mm thick so they don't impact that aspect much.



TBH Ive always had much more of a problem with calf-bang than shin bang, although it is from the saim problem of landing backseat.

Use a hammer or something to soften up the edge of the liner by just banging on it.. I had to do this. I also took out some of the bulky stitching and re-sticthed the end of the liner to be a bit smaller. Really helped.

Yeah i use em too, for shin bang unless your boot fits and you have it a little (in which case they do help and take away any pain from skiing aggressively or many jumps) they don't do much, but for calf bang i find that they help a lot, after a few days of park i always get some calf bang and putting those really helps me.

But shin bang is all down to having boots that fit you well, getting custom liners is the best.

The "don't land backseat" advice is such bs for anyone who isn't Tom Wallisch. Everyone lands backseat from time to time.

That's a great idea, i'll try to see if that helps. The guys at the ski shop put them on the press already, though, so i don't know how big of a difference it will make.

I used to get bad ski bang because my boots were huge on me. Instead if getting new boots I got the shin pads and i haven't got shin bang in a year

You can't get shinbang if you don't wear ski boots. I like to duct tape my flip flops into my bindings. No shin bang no problem.
