FAQ

What is shin bang?

It's the bruised, aching feeling on the front of your shin from the ski boot tongue pressing and knocking against it as you ski. It's common with stiff boots, new boots, and boots that are a little loose.

How do I wear ShinSaver?

Put on your ski socks, slide the sleeve on with the pad centered on the front of your shin, then step into your boot and buckle as usual.

Will it fit inside my boot?

The sleeve is thin stretch nylon with a foam pad on the front. Most skiers wear it under the liner over a thin ski sock. If your boots are already very tight, choose the smaller size and wear your thinnest socks.

Which size should I get?

Measure the widest part of your calf. M fits 10.2 to 12.6 in, L fits 11.0 to 13.4 in, and XL fits 11.8 to 15.4 in. If you're between sizes, size down.

Does it work for snowboarding?

Yes. It cushions anywhere a boot presses on the front of the shin.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash in cold water and let it air dry. Don't put it in the dryer.

Is this a medical product?

No. ShinSaver adds padding and comfort. If you have an injury or ongoing pain, see a doctor or a professional boot fitter.
