Hello everyone. i trully can say that intermediate skier. so recently i bought bent 110 and Salomon shift pro 100. these are ski and boots which they recomended me in shop to ski in powder and also do freestyle. skis are amazing they perform really well in powder, aswell when im tryna freestyle, but only thing that bothers me is how boots hurt my shins. maybe uts because of its stiffnes? i tried skiing with lightly bound boots but still no difference. whats your thoughts experts?

Means ur foots moving around within the boot causing discomfort. Sometimes it’s shinbang, sometimes it’s other discomfort. You gotta get boots that fit perfectly or ur eventually gonna have problems down the line

i think your shin i getting used to the new stiffness of the boot. take a 2 week rest for your shin to heel up and then try again. as your boot brakes in and your liner packs out it should stop hurting by next season if you get a couple good days on them.

Did they actually fit the boot? Did the mold the liner? Did they do any shell work?

or did they just say “buy this boot”

it sounds like your moving a decent amount inside the boot which is causing your shins to hit the fronts causing your pain.

how tight are you making the buckles and straps?

buckles should be on the loosest setting possible that snuggly holds your shin in place.
