I've got salomon pro models and have the same problem. I think it has to do with a low cuff or something...but when my shins hurt I just land everything fakie, salomon boots have very soft foreward flex. That and rest. Other than that, check a better fitting boot next time.

it happens. there really is only one way to cure it. a fe ski boots (line transfers namely) work very well. any ski boot with a 'walk mode' will work. skiing with the rea of the boot unlocked takes some getting used to, but after a few days of figuring out, it doesnt affect your riding. (i prefeered by transfers unlocked in powder and at over 50mph). the transfers are your best be though, because they have a TON of forward flex, and it soaks up most impacts, and the unlocked shell save your ass in a backseat landing. another plus, is that its super easy to shift your wieght around fro manuals and ollies. some people will say it isnt safe to ride in walk mode, but i rode 3 seasons like that injury free. it still holds your ankle fine. you can find transfers for well under 100 on ebay.

half the time the walk mode is the cause of the shin bang. sometimes having looser boots is better for me, becasue it is more comfy. sometimes it can be the way the boot is set, so take them to your local shop adn see if have anything that can fix it. if nothing else works, hit the ice hard, casue iceing fixes everything

i'd still never touch salomon bindings with a 30 foot pole. they pre-release like its their job to.-lanks

if you have skinny shins like me, you might need to move the buckles on your boots to make them tighter. there is an allen wrench that came in the box with your 1080's that should work fine, maybe try that if you haven't already.

Yea idk about walk mode causing shin bang cuz i always would forget to switch and i never had shin bang cuz of it! But my old boots had a walk mode a ski mode and a cruise mode i always skied in cruise mode they were perfect. Dalbello was the make cant rem the model!!

Dudes, I have tried every single adjustment on my boot to try and remedy my shin bang. I have been in the gym working on my calves and shin muscles even to beefen up my legs. Nothing works! I think i get shin bang because the boot is to low perhaps...its like my leg is trying to break over the top of my boot...

Hey dude..have you tried changing the place of the second lowest buckle a little more up? You only need 1 minute of screwing with the tool that has 6 sides (penta-screwdriver in english?.. shit..)

It really helps keeping your foot down on the bottom of the boot, so you don't have to put the upper buckles so tight. To me, the tightness makes my shins hurt, especially with butters (sheesh, Louise, it hurts..)
Bottom soles=all the way
Upper soles=to the first or second hole
Strap=very loose

For pipe skiing I tighten everything up a bit.

skiny calves would be a dream....try finding a boot that fits a big calf and still flexs, not happening.

1080's dont work (unlike what most people say that ti fits a wide calf)

i have these dalbellos just cause they fit....they dont flex so well and i get hardcore shinbango

If you're too cheap or lazy to get Booster straps, run the stock power strap underneath the upper shell. It's better than nothing.

Alright this is what i have learned. Last year because of my extreme shin bang i would do the same thing, i would tightn my boots like a mad man. But that just caused more shinbang, why? Because when i flexed foward my strap was holding me back and pressing my shins.

What a booster strap does is first it makes a real nice snug fit around the top cuff and it flexes foward with you not hold you back. Please instead of tighting your boots to the max just drop 20-30 bones on a Booster strap.
