Okay, after spending like 1k on Full Tilts and finally realizing they are not fitting for my narrow feet, where can i find tight boots that dont destroy my shins on jumps? I have been thinking of atomic hawx ultras but i am scared that i will brake my shins from them. Please help me im desperate

Which full tilts did you get, because different models are different widths, the drop kick is for more narrower feet

I got drop kicks first but had to use like 2 cm shorter cables because I got toebang. It felt good but obviously the cables broke like every two weeks because they were so short. Then I tried b&e which was a horrible idea, idk what i was thinking. Now im going to change brand cause I'm done buying new cables for like 300 every year

Plain and simple, go to a boot fitter and get the boot that fits

Part of the reason for toe bang in a full tilt is people often size up. Also try to reduce space in the boot with a footbed

Stiff boots don't cause shin bang - improperly fit boots cause shin bang. I think almost every single one of our athletes use a 130 (or stiffer) ski boot for park/freestyle, Jossi & Keefer included. If stiff boots caused shin bang, then they wouldn't use them. The point is the boots fit well and they can flex them, therefore they don't get shin bang.

Where do you live? I'm sure we can point you in the direction of a proper boot-fitter.

Sounds like you're committed to getting new boots but if you want a cheap solution, just have some side pads put on your liner. Foot beds or shims are great for taking up space as well but won't make your boots feel more narrow.
