FAQs
What size should I get?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Nike or the retailer, typically based on leg length or height, to select the appropriate size for optimal fit and protection.
Can I wear these for sports other than soccer?
While designed for soccer, they can be suitable for other sports requiring shin protection, provided the level of impact is comparable. Always consult league or sport-specific regulations.
How do I clean the shinguards?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shinguards machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the protective qualities. Hand washing is the preferred method.
What is the material composition?
The shinguards are made from 43% polypropylene, 33% EVA, 17% polyester, and 7% rubber.
How does the stirrup design work?
The stirrup is a band that goes under the foot, helping to keep the shinguard from sliding down the leg during activity.
Are these shinguards suitable for adult professional play?
The Nike Charge Guard - M offers low-profile protection suitable for competitive play. Always ensure compliance with specific league or tournament equipment rules.
Troubleshooting
Shinguard slips down during play.
Ensure the stirrup is correctly positioned under the foot and that the shinguard is snug against the leg. Ensure socks are not excessively slippery.
Discomfort from the foam backing.
Verify the shinguard is the correct size and ensure it is not being worn over thick socks that might alter the fit. Allow a short break-in period.
Hard shell feels too rigid.
The shell is designed for protection; minor stiffness is expected. Wear for short periods to allow the material to conform slightly to the leg shape.
