The strap on the SPK's is better than most other boots straps. I'm sure booster straps would make some improvement, but I'm not sure it would be worth it on SPK's. If you're having shin bang problems don't land on your ass.

Yea the normal spk strap is pretty sick I never really desired anything more so I didn't bother.

I never had much problem with shin bang. dunno why. My friend has a booster strap and he still gets it, but he has real skinny legs.

I put a set on my foils. Ive only been out twice on them, and they are so much better than the stock power strap. They never come loose, and flex great with your leg.

I had shin bang problems with my spk's....if your over 160 lbs then the spk is most likely to soft for you. look for a stiffer boot...perhaps one of the stiffer spks?

spks are 95 this year. i'm 180 lbs and they are not too soft for me, don't have problems with shin bang either so i didn't buy booster straps

Those are the Pros and the Kaos. He has last years SPK which is a 85 flex.
Like I said in the PM's, either these boots dont fit you properly (my best guess) or you arent buckling them properly.

referring to this years models, a flex index of 95 for someone over 160 lbs is pretty sufficient..

No big deal, it wasnt listed. I just remember him asking questions about them a few months ago.
