Full tilt question ?

[francky216]

Is it normal that i got space between my shin and the liner of the boot when they are buckeled?

 

[quaive]

i have a little bit as well

 

[francky216]

and you doesnt got shin bang because i got some

 

[Njens.]

I always have a little gap but i dont get shin bang too aften get

 

[DIX*]

Yeah I usually have a little gap. If I spend time doing my boots up properly they're usually pretty snug. I never get shinbang either way though

 

[quaive]

grammatical genius.

 

[iThinkiSki]

I think this is somewhat normal but i dont have any space between my shin.

 

[.nasty]

you really shouldn't have any space. it should be tight..

 

[uosdwiSrjewoH]

are the cables on the shortest notch? do that

 

[uosdwiSrjewoH]

oh, and gear talk

 

[GolfingElephant]

try buying boots that fit

 

[Evilchris]

and going to a bootfitter

 

[uosdwiSrjewoH]

if your cables are as short as they'll go, you can buy shorter ones

 

[chardi]

i've got a little space, and i had mine heat molded too. i haven't got any shinbang, or any boot problems at all so far this year. full tilts really are ill. i think i have a space just because i've got skinny legs. if you do too thats probably why.

and i love how whenever there is a boot related question everyone just yells out 'go to a boot fitter!!' 'get the boots that fit you!' haha its like we all just put a blind fold on, got piss drunk and walked into a ski swap and grabbed the first pair we could find in our blind, drunken stumble.

but a fitter really does help

 

[belden...]

Not a real noticeable one.

 

[Crispy.]

This is a serious question. DO full tilts really prevent shin bang more than other boots?

 

[uosdwiSrjewoH]

boots that fit prevent shinbang. that being said, i shortened the top cable on my fts, crank em down real tight and have never gotten shinbang

 

[matt22matt]

on my nordicas i have about an inch of gap and i dont get shin bang.. its wierd.

 

[matt22matt]

i dont know man i put them really tight and i still have this huge gap.. i never get shin bang.

 

[howlongcanausern]

your boots do not fit. but they're full tilts so it's OK

 

[tgildea]

Could you go into detail on how exactly you shortened the cable? Did you just buy a shorter one from FT? Because I already have the shortest cable, on the shortest hook in the cuff, buckles cranked all the way. The fit is good, but it would be nice to be able to go tighter if I wanted.

 

[GolfingElephant]

no you they walk into a ski store and buy the biggest name and or best looking boot

 

[uosdwiSrjewoH]

then you're out o luck i suppose, mine came on the longest hook so i just went down to the shortest

 

[wynnyk]

i always tighten the bottom cables quite a bit, and have the top one pretty loose and they're really comfortable and I don't really get shinbang.
