You can still get shin bang with park boots. If you don't want shin bang, go to a boot fitter.

 

[hank_hill]

yes i know i can get shin bang from park boots too, but right now im getting it on extremely easy things, like just landing from a straight air.

park boots do not fix shinbang no boot can fix that a proper fitted boot helps a lot also a park boot doesnt elminate it any more than a regular boot i would go with an almountain boot unles u ski 100% park

 

[MEGAZORD]

Not once have i gotten shinbang after getting my Fulltilts.

 

[hank_hill]

i do ski 100% park, i ski at a small mountain in wisconsin, and its either park or cruiser runs

It matters on what ur foot looks like....

and if u have a little bit wider foot... id go salomon

ok, what is a park boot?

saying you dont have "park boots" doesnt mean you cant ride park. a "park boot" has generally been considered something soft in the past, but most people that are skiing park pretty hard dont ride with soft boots. pros often ride with modified racing boots because they need that support strong support, but it depends on what they're doing. so what is a "park boot"?

getting a company labelled "park boot" doesnt necessarily fix any problems for you either. get a boot that fits your foot. most, if not all your problems will be fixed. if its shinbang then that's your problem. and when selecting your boot, if you like the stiffness of yours now, then try to get something around the same. dont make the mistake of going from really soft boots to krypton il moro's because your friends riding them. chances are they'l be way too stiff for your riding/liking, but i could be wrong.

I have the Salomon SPK Kaos boot. Same as the SPK but a little less stiff and a bit lighter.. They helped prevent my shin bang alot..

But the best way to help yourself would be a boot fitter.

Your boots are probably too big...or you need a heel lift..

I loved the feel of the full tilts, they're really nice and soft, plus the liner feels so good on your foot.

thats true !! Anyways most of the pros don't ski with the same boots we can buy at the store..
