Troubleshooting
Shinguard slips during play
Ensure the high elastane leg strap is tightened securely. Verify that the size of the shinguard is appropriate for your leg; an undersized guard may not cover adequately, and an oversized one might not secure properly. Ensure your football socks are pulled up firmly over the guard.
Discomfort around the ankle
Confirm that the fixed ankle sock is positioned correctly and not twisted. Ensure the leg strap is not overtightened, which can cause pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider if the integrated ankle protection is suitable for your specific ankle anatomy.
Shin guard feels too bulky
Ensure you have selected the correct size for your leg. The low-profile design aims to minimize bulk, so a bulky feel might indicate an incorrect size or improper fit. Try adjusting the leg strap placement slightly.
Material feels stiff
The protective materials may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for a few training sessions to allow them to conform more closely to your leg shape. Avoid attempting to bend or crease the guards forcefully.
