Product Information
Full details
The Puma King Shin & Ankle Guards are designed for soccer players at any level who require reliable, high-impact protection during competitive play. These guards provide a critical safety buffer for your lower legs and ankles while maintaining a comfortable, secure fit through a dedicated touch-fastening system; however, players with bulkier athletic socks may find the sizing snug and should ensure they select the appropriate dimensions for their build.

FAQs
Are these guards suitable for all age groups?
These guards are available in various dimensions; choose the size that matches your shin length to ensure proper coverage and safety.
Can I remove the ankle guards?
The ankle protection on this model is integrated into the design for maximum safety and is not intended to be removed.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your shin from just below the knee to the top of the ankle bone and match it to the available product dimensions provided (e.g., 216mm vs 240mm).
Can these be worn over socks?
They are typically designed to be worn under soccer socks, but if you prefer wearing them over thin liners, ensure the size remains comfortable.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant and suitable for rainy conditions, but they should be dried properly after each match to prevent odors.
Troubleshooting
Guards slide down during play
Ensure the touch-fastening straps are secured tight enough and verify that you are wearing an appropriate size for your leg diameter.
Straps losing grip over time
Clean the hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners with a soft brush to remove lint, hair, or grass fibers that prevent proper adhesion.
Skin irritation under the guard
Wear moisture-wicking compression sleeves or thin socks under the guards to reduce friction between the skin and the guard material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by selecting the correct size based on your lower leg length. When putting on the guards, slide the ankle guard into position first, then pull the shin portion into place, aligning the center of the guard with the middle of your shin bone. Secure the straps firmly to ensure no slippage occurs during movement.
For care, it is essential to keep the touch-fastening surfaces free of dirt and debris to maintain their grip. Hand wash the guards with mild soap and cold water after use; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the EVA foam and the structural properties of the polyester and rubber components. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
