FAQs
Are these shin guards suitable for professional use?
Yes, these are designed for competitive, high-performance play with professional-grade impact technology.
Does the XL size fit all adults?
The XL size is typically intended for taller players or those with larger lower-leg anatomy. Measure your shin length to ensure proper coverage.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the best way to maintain the structural integrity of the Aircell technology.
Do these guards include ankle protection?
No, this model is a sleek, slip-in design focusing on shin protection only for maximum agility.
How do I know if they are properly positioned?
The guard should cover the entire length of the shin bone, starting just below the knee and ending slightly above the ankle bone.
Troubleshooting
Shin guards slide down during a match
Ensure you are using a snug compression sleeve or professional-grade shin guard socks to secure the guards.
Irritation or chafing on the skin
Wash the foam backing regularly to remove salt and sweat buildup, and ensure you are not wearing the guards over abrasive materials.
Guards feel loose on the leg
The XL size is intended for larger legs; if the guard shifts, consider wearing a thicker sock underneath to fill the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, insert the guards into a high-quality compression sleeve or use dedicated shin guard socks to hold them securely against your shins. Ensure the foam backing is flush against the skin for optimal impact absorption.
Care instructions:
- After each use, remove the guards from your socks or sleeves to allow them to air dry completely.
- Wipe down the hard outer shell with a damp cloth if mud or dirt accumulates.
- Do not submerge the foam backing in hot water, as it may degrade the adhesive or integrity of the cushion.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle.
