I've got the shins put together as stated here, they look correct according to all the pictures UK posted so I don't think that's an issue. I'd had to have to buy a new set of boots, I got these from TKboots, are Imperial boots better? Here's a thread showing the problem I am also having. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36397-tkboots-ankle-too-wide-to-fit-shin-armor

Awesome thread, it's been a big help seeing how to do things. I do have a question, I got my TK boots Size 10, and I'm trying to fit the shins, specifically the ankle area. The top of the boot is so big that I can barely get it to close at the standard cut line, much less have any overlap to trim. It may be the angle I'm looking at them, but this appears to me to make my ankles look like Cankles. They look huge compared to the pictures I've seen. I can squeeze them in tighter, but then that completely restricts any ankle movement. It also looks like I am going to have to modify the back piece straps. I didn't think I was taller than a StormTrooper at 5'10" but to get my Posterior to sit in place, I have to lower the back piece about 2".. Kevin

Having the same issue with Anovos, and new TK Boots. I am able to shove the top of the boot enough to get the shin to come close to closing on the back. I'm still about 1/8" over on the cut line. Looking at the pictures of what the ankle area looks like on completed armor compared to mine, mine look huge and fat. 5'-10" 155lbs size 10 boot.
