Lately I've had really bad shin bang from the park.  I'm looking into buying a new freestyle boot.  My friend told be the "full tilt high five" and "full tilt bumble bee pro" are good choices.  I'm just wondering what you guys think and/or if there are any other good boots out there that will fix the shin bang problem.

I read the sticky
just wanted some other opinions
so which is softer and has more cusion, spks or booters
or does it just depend on the shape of my shin and how the boot fits it?

Well, I haven't ever worn the Full Tilts but my SPKs are awesome.  Really light and I got an amazing deal on them.

i would stay away from the lange freerides. mine have got to be just about the heaviest stiffest boot i have ever put on.

any freeride boot that fits the best, boots are really personal preference, maybe full tilts are better than rental boots but if you look in the high end freeride range like agents, rampages, full tilt, spk, whatever fits the best will be good

like noted above me, its all about what fits and feels right... that being said i just got some Lange Freestyles and i love them so far, they have this rubber thing in the tongue that is suppose to reduce shin bag... dont know if it works but i havnt had yet,

good luck finding a boot!!

i would go with full tilt cause of their liner and for their  comfort. Plus they are designed for park so the have absorbers in the heal for when you screw up and hit a jump funny., they'll save your ass.

so do many of the other freestyle specific boots.



To the thread creator:

You need to go to a (or multiple) shops and have boots FITTED to your feet. Whether it be SPK, Full Tilt, Rossi, Dalbello, whatever, they all have different fits (but do the same thing). Someone can say that full tilt is the best boot, but if you have a super wide foot and they don't fit, for example, then they'll feel like shit on you and you won't enjoy them.

Get fitted at a shop.

Truth.
Mods need to make the stickied boot thread title like 36 size font so EVERYONE sees it and refers to it before they make make threads they'll probably get nothing out of, except "see a bootfitter."
