Our Story
Why we made ShinSaver
If you ski, you know the feeling. It's mid-morning, your boots are buckled tight, and every turn pushes the boot tongue a little harder into the front of your shin. By lunch you're loosening buckles on the chairlift. By the last run you're skiing around the pain instead of skiing.
Skiers call it shin bang. It's one of the most common complaints on the mountain, and most people just put up with it.
What we wanted
The fixes we found were either pricey gel pads that you stick into your liner, or bulky foam that turned a snug boot into a tight one. We wanted something simpler:
- A sleeve you slide on in the lodge, with nothing to stick or trim
- A padded layer that stays exactly where the boot tongue hits
- A fair price
- Fast shipping, because nobody wants to wait three weeks in the middle of ski season
That's ShinSaver: a compression sleeve with a honeycomb foam pad over the shin, held in place by silicone grip strips, and shipped from the US.
Who we are
ShinSaver is a small, independent shop that does one thing. We don't run a factory. We chose a sleeve design that does the job, we ship it from a US warehouse, and we answer every message ourselves.
If ShinSaver doesn't work for you, tell us. We'd rather fix it than keep your money.
