Shin bang, explained

The boot tongue is the culprit

Shin bang is the bruised, aching front of the shin that builds up when your boot tongue presses and knocks against your leg, run after run. Shin Bang Pads put a honeycomb cushion right where the tongue sits, so the pressure is spread out instead of landing on one spot.

You asked

Straight answers

What is shin bang?

Soreness and bruising on the front of the shin from the ski boot tongue pressing and knocking against it. It's common in stiff, new or rental boots.

Do they fit inside ski boots?

Yes. They're slim enough to wear under your ski socks and inside your boots.

Do they stick to my boots?

No. They're stretch sleeves with a silicone grip band, not stick-on pads, so there's no adhesive to peel off or leave behind in your boots. They go wherever your legs go, including rental boots.

Which size should I choose?

Measure around the widest part of your calf. As a guide, M fits about 26 to 32 cm, L about 28 to 34 cm and XL about 30 to 49 cm. XS and S suit slimmer calves and junior skiers. Between sizes? Size up for comfort under boots.

Pair or single?

A pair covers both legs, which is what most skiers need. A single is handy as a spare or a replacement.

How do I wash them?

Hand wash in cool water and let them air dry so the padding keeps its shape.

Yes. Delivery is free on every order to the UK and across Europe, including Norway and Switzerland. Orders arrive in 2 to 4 business days, with tracking. Outside the UK, import VAT and a carrier fee may be charged on delivery.
