Shin Cushion
"The cuff on my Tecnica Cochise Light Pro touring boots is shorter than an alpine ski boot to reduce weight. So when you ski these boots pretty hard on inbound days, you can really abuse your shins. I used to get shin bang that would cause hot spots and skin contusions until I started using the Skiing Solutions Shin Cushions in my boots. They spread out the surface area so you don't feel the impact on the bone of your shin. Even though the directions say to put them on your leg, I attach these shin cushions to the front of my boot and they still work great. Since I'm a photographer who skis every day, I can't afford to have my skins out of commission. I'm definitey a fan of these shin cushions that are designed by Jans Expert, Paul Archer."
Shin Cushions are the easiest and one of the most inexpensive ways to elimate shin bang and pain. Even expert skiers don't quite get their buckle tension right and experience shin bang. These slide right in, hold in place, and provide instant relief!
Details
Boot bang, shin bang, whatever you want to call it, does skiing make your shins sore? One of our very own Jans Experts, Paul Archer, invented a solution to this problem. Paul is famous for his boot fits, particularly when a person has issues with their feet. Naturally, he'd be the one to invent The Shin Cushion. This product will get you back out on the hill right away, so you don’t have to miss one day of skiing. The secret is the void of The Shin Cushion placed over the sore area on your tibia, held in place by a light adhesive, plus your ski sock. The cushioning around the void prevents the sore spot from directly pressing against the boot's tongue, eliminating the painful pressure. The Shin Cushion is very light and unobtrusive, and they can be doubled up (two stacked together for one shin) for extra cushioning. Because the thickness rebounds somewhat after the initial compression, they are usually reusable.
