They are advertising that the boot is stiff, but without the shin pain that usually accompanies a stiff boot.From my experience, any stiff boot (regardless of what they advertise) will give you shin pain unless you find a way to wear them with absolutely ZERO dead space in between your shin and the inside liner of the boot. This is extremely hard to do, but I have had the most success reducing the space between my shins and the liners with a wrap around style liner, such as the liners FULL TILT BOOTS use. Don't believe crazy claims like no shin bang problems with a stiff boot. If you can find a way to try them on and see for your self, that would be your best bet.
