I've had my boots properly fitted and still get sore shins after a couple days of skiing. Didn't want to mess with my boot fit again, just needed some extra cushioning. These have helped quite a bit.

Honestly thought these would just make my boots tighter. They're thinner than I expected though. Took a little adjusting to get them in the right spot but once I did, barely noticed them.

By the third day of our ski trip my shins are usually killing me. Tried these on our last trip and it was a lot more comfortable. Wish I'd known about them sooner lol.

Wasn't sure they'd actually stay in place under my socks. Surprisingly they do. Been using them for a few ski days now, no issues so far.

Got these for my husband because every ski holiday he'd start complaining about his shins after day two or three. His boots are custom fitted too. He says the extra padding makes a noticeable difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Even properly fitted ski boots can create pressure against your shins, especially during aggressive skiing or several consecutive days on the slopes. ShinGel adds a soft layer of cushioning to help reduce pressure and friction. Persistent pain can also indicate a fit or technique issue worth checking with a boot fitter.
ShinGel uses flexible gel cushioning designed to sit between your shin and ski sock without bulky equipment. It does take up some space, so comfort will depend on your boot fit. If your boots already feel excessively tight, consult your boot fitter before adding padding.
ShinGel is designed to cushion the area where your shin presses against the front of your ski boot. This can help reduce discomfort caused by localized pressure and rubbing. Results depend on the cause of your pain, and the pads aren't a replacement for properly fitting boots.
Simply peel off the protective backing, position the pad over the pressure point on your shin, and pull your ski sock over it. Make sure the pad sits comfortably and doesn't bunch up before putting on your boots. Follow the included instructions for skin preparation and application.
ShinGel is designed to sit securely beneath your ski socks. Proper positioning and a smooth-fitting sock help keep the pads where you need them. Check the placement when putting on your boots, and reposition the pads if they shift or create discomfort.
Yes! ShinGel pads are reusable. After skiing, simply peel them off and place them back onto their original protective backing to help preserve the adhesive. Store them somewhere clean until your next ski day. With proper care, you can keep reusing them as long as they remain sticky, clean, and comfortable.
No boot modifications are required. ShinGel is worn on your shin beneath your ski sock, so there's no need to install anything inside your boots. Just make sure there's enough room for the extra cushioning without creating unwanted pressure.

Honestly bought them because I was tired of dealing with sore shins every ski trip. They're easy to put on and I barely noticed them inside my boots.
Took a little adjusting to get them positioned exactly where I wanted, but once I figured it out they were great. Definitely helped with the pressure on my shins.
The fact that they're reusable is probably my favorite part. I just stick them back onto the original plastic backing after skiing and they're ready for the next day.
I ski 3-4 days in a row pretty often and my shins usually get pretty tender by day three. These helped a lot on my last trip.
My boots are professionally fitted and I still get sore shins after a few days. The extra cushioning made a noticeable difference without changing anything about my boots.
Was worried they'd make my boots feel too tight, but they fit fine under my socks. Took a run or two to get used to them and then I forgot they were there.
Brought these on our Utah trip and wore them every day. Super simple. Peel, stick, sock over, done. Definitely coming with me from now on.
My shins normally start feeling pretty beat up after a couple of consecutive days. First trip with these and I was much more comfortable. Very happy with them.
My husband and I both get shin pain skiing so I ordered a couple of pairs. We've both been using them and they're definitely staying in our ski bags.
I was mostly worried they'd move around inside my boots. They actually stayed in place pretty well, even after a full day of skiing.
Pretty straightforward product but it works. My shins get sore from pressing into the front of my boots and the gel gives them some welcome cushioning.
Have only used them on one trip so far but no complaints. Took a little practice to position them properly, but they felt comfortable once I did.
Wish I bought something like this years ago. I've always dealt with shin pain on longer ski trips and just assumed it was something I had to put up with.
Used them for four days at Snowbird. By the last day my shins are normally pretty sensitive, but they felt much better this time around.
Bought these for my boyfriend but ended up ordering some for myself too. Really like how simple they are to use and that you don't have to replace them every day.
Does the job. I usually put them on before my socks and forget about them. Adhesive gets a little less sticky with use but they've held up well so far.
I've tried loosening my upper buckles to deal with shin pain but that never really solved it. These have been a useful addition without messing with my boot setup.
My son always complains about his shins after several days of skiing. Got him a pair to try and he said they made his boots much more comfortable.
I like that they're flexible and don't feel like some big piece of padding shoved into the boot. My boots are already pretty snug so that mattered to me.
Three-day trip, wore them every day, zero issues. My shins felt good and I didn't have to keep readjusting them throughout the day.
They're a little tricky to peel off the first time, but after that it's easy. I've reused the same pair several times now and they're still sticking.
Bought these before our Colorado trip. Probably one of the more useful things I packed, especially with four consecutive days of skiing planned.
No complicated setup which is exactly what I wanted. Stick them onto your shins, pull your socks over and you're good to go. Really simple.
No fancy setup which is exactly what I wanted. Dryer in, press the timer, leave it alone. Boots were dry when I came back to them.
The biggest win for me is being able to ski multiple days without my shins getting progressively more uncomfortable. Makes longer trips a lot more enjoyable.
First used them after my shins were already a little sore and they helped cushion the pressure. Next trip I'm definitely putting them on from day one.
So far so good. They stay in place under my socks and I like that I can put them back on the protective backing and reuse them.
Took these to Tahoe and my brother ended up borrowing my spare pair. Neither of us had tried gel pads before but we both liked the extra cushioning.
I've always just accepted that my shins would hurt by the third day of skiing. Didn't realize how much difference a little extra padding could make.
