Are booster straps worth it?

i have the spk kreations and i know they have a wide strap but does that even help?

my friend got SPK kreations and stil gets shin bang in them like a normal boot...and i know nothing about how or why the booster strap works

Heres the low down on booster straps, from my own personal experiences,
BUY THEM!
There are 4 types of Booster Straps, kid level, intermediate level, expert, and world cup race level. Each level has a number of elastic straps about 6 inches long that streches around the upper part or the cuff of your boot. kids level has one, intermediate has two, expert has three, and world cup has three with a stiffening splint in it. for you the expert one should work really well, or if you dont want that much go with the intermediate. i use the expert becuase i hate shin bang and love total responsivness from my boots. the expert ones are like 30 bucks, the intermediate are like 27. these are so worth it because it tightens everything up around your shin, creating a better rebound, more pop (sort of), better responsivness, and less shin bang. I would recommend the expert for you. Now, these can either replace your existing strap or go above it, it depends for certain cases. if i were you i would replace the regualr strap with these once you get them, just look in the back and there should be some rivets that hold the strap on, (you might have to have a shop do this too), but you can permanatley put them on your boots and that helps a little more too becuase it is part of the boot. These are well worth the money, feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions...

I could only recommend them if your boots fit properly in the first place. Also realise that they will hardly do anything about your shinbang, you have to stop landing backseat. They're great for reducing the slop and improving the responsiveness of your skis.

I have not had shinbang since I got them, and that has been almost two years.

Worth every penny.

thanks guys, it sounds like i need to save up 30 bucks, could i over kill by buying the expert or would i be fine, im 5' 3" and like 130lb, and pretty much all park

Don't wanna start a new thread, but same question.

5'10, 150lb. Im guessing expert should be good?

they are definitely worth it if you do any skiing at all outside of the park. best quality bootstrap out there, best system of use, best feel to it.

On the package there is a weight scale that tells you which one you should use.

I would go with that, and if you ski super hard, maybe go up a level. But if you do, remember that if you have them super tight and they are to stiff for you, it can cut off your blood circulation. Which sucks, to say the least.

ya they are defnitily worth it, once you ski on them you will never want to not have them on
