Boot Question

Go back to the "boot fitter" and tell him, no one on NS can see your feet/boots

Actually there was some real helpful information in an sg thread yesterday of reasons for problems


I think it was onenerdykid.

"No boot "prevents" shinbang. You need to know that not only 1 thing causes it. Examine this list:

-not having a footbed
-boot is wrong size (usually too big than too small)
-continually landing backseat
-having a gap between the tongue of the boot and your shin, either because you have chicken legs or simply because the tongue just doesn't match up to your leg
-boots that are too soft for you
-boots that are too stiff for you
-boots that are too low on your leg

so, if you do the opposite of what I just wrote, shinbang is most likely not going to happen to you. As you can tell, a properly fit boot is your best bet against getting shinbang.
WE ARE SKIING. "

Hopefully that helps

here's a link to that thread if nobody posts anything good in here.

I don't ski anymore though so I have no idea. Good luck

Its not just shin bang, its pain in my toes and ankles as well, do I need to get them molded?

True, he is very knowledgeable on boots, I just know a lot of problems can't be fixed over the internet and need to be seen in person

PM him if this thread doesn't go anywhere. He'd probably have some ideas.

Thanks guys, and bump!
