Product Information

The most common source of shin bang is too much space between the shin and the tongue of the ski boot. When there’s a gap between the lower leg and front of the boot you’ll find that when steep terrain or variable conditions force you into an athletic stance, your shin will bang up against the front of the boot. Shin bang is a common ski injury and symptoms can vary, but most commonly it presents itself as a deep, throbbing pain along the muscles of the shin. File photo.
