macfiveWhat is shin bang? I see it talked about constantly on here but I don't think I have ever experienced it in the way its described. I have noticed if I land back seat I get a pain in my shins, but its purely my fault not my boots.
Voyage86try a looser top strap, nothing your gana do will fix it by tomorrow but try and isolate where your shin hurts. if it’s on the bone than it’s either your form or you don’t ski enough to build up the bone in that area. if it’s on the muscle next to the bone than you should strengthen that muscle.

DustyPencilAssuming your boots actually fit you properly and you aren't skiing backseat, make sure your boots aren't too tight. I found I was cranking my boots down WAYYY too tight, and that was what was causing insane pain on the outside-ish muscle of my shins for all of last season. The first couple days of skiing with looser boots this season felt a little weird but has fixed the pain since.

iDontHitRailsTry tightening the booster strap over just the liner before buckling. Changed my life

Voyage86wait so the booster strap isnt on your boot at all?
iDontHitRailsIt’s bolted to the back of the shell but tighten it over the liner under the shell. Do it before you start buckling the boot

PsychicMigrationTake time off two weeks or more is ideal although sounds like you cant do that immediately. Ice it 4-5times a day.... stick your whole legs in an icebath for 20min and do it right after skiing to get ahead of inflammation. Just using ice packs and holding cups of ice wont do anything you really have to go hard with it. I just carried a cooler with me all spring one year before I got new boots. Properly fitting boots should help to. I cut a pair of sock and put the leg part on my shins. Kept my boots tighter and added more cushion. The other thing that was really useful was taking those leg rollers and having someone grind it into both side and back around the calf area, between the achilles and upper calf. Besides all that go to a boot fitter, get new boots that fit, custom footbeds will stop movement and anything additional the shop can do to mod them will help. You wont fix this if you continue to ski on it, injury sucks but you'll be better off in the long run.
peacepileI got 5$ walmart footbeds that you cut to size.. helped take up some volume keeps my foot situated in the boot, could be a quick fix.. I’ve tried boosters with fts and dalbellos under the tongue.. going to dremel the tongues and glue some shipping foam. Fearing that I just need to try a different boot shape.. so if all else fails I’ll roadtrip to a bootfitter.
Voyage86i can’t imagine 5$ footbeds from walmart are good for your fit
devstackstake ice packs
like the type shit ur mom would pack in ur lunch box in 2012
put them in your socks
sounds crazy but it saved me
do it every day after u ski even if the shin bang is gone for a few days
n you'll be chilling
K-fedKing123Ok so I know there is countless threads in this but I can’t seem to find the cure for me. I’m on the second day of my trip and I already have crippling shin bang, and I’m scared it’s gonna get worse. I’ve tried tighter boots, booster straps, icing but nothing works. Got any ideas?
