unfortunately, there isn't anything boot companies can do about this. all i can suggest is to try a new footbed or a different ski sock. eventually shin bang will disappear so man up and ski.

Aint it where your shins start to hurt because of the boot hitting it when you land etc.?

BOOSTER STRAPS SUCK... if you have booster straps you better not ever land backseat or they'll hurt way worse then normal... the key to shinbang is rest, when your shins start to hurt take it easy and hit some rails or land switch on jumps... if you catch it early and dont keep hurting them your calfs will strengthen and you'll be able to ski more often without the problems of shinbang later on in the season, i had bad shinbang earlier in the season, then i took it easy for a week loosened up my boots and skied with them as loose as possible (around the upper ankle and shin) and have not had a problem with my shins since.. and ive skied hard 7 times in the last week and a half...

Hi Guys,

I'm the inventor of the Shintronic. A device that knocks out Shin bang. Our dutch website is brand new (www.manoove.com) and I guarantee a solution. I suffered heavy from severe Shin bang and I has to quit, but I managed to invent this device. A friend of mine whois producing surf westsuits was the missing like for production. 4 factors in the designs helps out: (1) Relief of the frontside of shinbone with a gap between padding (2) the flat strong side of the shinbone rests against the innerpadding and deals with most of the power (3) spreading the pressure zone (4) neoprene has nice damping characteristics.

I do not mean to advertise here, but I feel very familiar with yours input in this forum.

Reproduce our (patented) product or order it online. Whatever works best for you. We send in by regular postmail. We are interested in your fieldwork...

Kind regards

Sjoerd
