These are a standard design shin pad, with an attached ankle protection and neoprene sock strap. They fit to size and are relatively unobtrusive for the type of pad they are. The shin guard is nicely shaped to curve around the leg and not protrude too much. My ten year old daughter has been wearing these for both football and hockey, and they’ve taken some nasty knocks and offered good, safe protection. I prefer these to the simpler shin-only options, as besides giving the ankle bones a cushion they also tend to stay in place more easily.
These shin pads are really sturdy and well made. They are to replace a pair that I bought where they slip into a pocket on a material ‘sock’ sleeve. They tend to slip out of place, whereas these new ones won’t. You put your foot through the loop of thickly padded material. This passes up on to your leg, leaving the elastic strap under you instep. Then the elasticated strap half way up the shin pad passes through the plastic loop and fastens back on itself with Velcro, around your calf. At 15.99, this is a price I would pay again as my son is very happy with these shin pads and says they are the most comfortables ones he has worn to date.
These shin pads are really good quality. My son is 10 next month so I ordered him a size M as it says it’s suitable for ages 9-14yrs. They fit him well, although there was slight gapping in the strap that goes around the calf even though it’s an adjustable strap, but they’re still wearable. The ankle padding is a great idea, as it protects the inner and outer ankle bones, and also keeps the shin pads in place better.
I ordered the XXS side for my daughter who has just turned 3 and the XXS are stated to be for 2 to 4 year olds but they are quite small, so I think (similar to another reviewer) you are best going up one size – they do fit her but looks like a larger set would be fine as well and offer more coverage.
They are neatly made, the stitching is good and the velcro strap seems strong enough to last longer than her legs will fit into these I think! At 3 years old she doesn’t need any shin pads but will have fun putting them on and copying her big brother so it’s worth it for that.
Plastic shell is tough as expected and the inner side padded for comfort – the light blue colour is nice on the eye too.
