How do I choose the right size?

Measure the upper calf, lower calf, and preferred guard length, then compare those measurements with the supplied chart. If the player falls between sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.

How are these different from separate guards and sleeves?

The EVA foam front is integrated into the polyester and nylon sleeve. There is no separate hard shell, loose strap, or second sleeve to put together.

How should they be worn?

Pull the sleeve onto the bare lower leg, center the padded front over the shin, then cover the sleeve fully with the soccer sock. Check the position and comfort before play.

Can they be used for every match?

League, school, club, and tournament requirements can differ. Check the rules that apply to your player before using any guard in an official match.

How do I wash them?

Hand wash and air dry. Inspect the fabric, seams, padding, and fit before the next use.

WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY GETTING

THREE STEPS BEFORE PLAY

Put the sleeve on in the correct order.

Pull the sleeve onto the bare lower leg, center the padded front, and cover it with the soccer sock.

Three step guide showing the sleeve pulled onto the bare lower leg, the pad centered over the shin, and the soccer sock pulled over the sleeve
  1. 01Pull onto the bare leg

    Keep the fabric flat rather than twisted.

  2. 02Center the padded front

    Position it over the front of the shin.

  3. 03Cover with the sock

    Move around and recheck comfort before play.

CHECK THE FIT BEFORE PLAY

Check the position and comfort before the player steps onto the field.

A close fit starts with the size chart and correct placement. The integrated sleeve removes straps and separate pieces, but fit should still be checked whenever the player gears up.

FIT COMES BEFORE COLOR

Use the measurements, not the age label alone.

Measure the upper calf, lower calf, and desired guard length. If the player falls between sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.
