Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shin guards, place the hard shell directly against your shin bone and pull your soccer socks over them. Use the adjustable straps to tighten the fit until the guard feels firm against your leg without restricting blood flow. Compatibility is universal; these guards can be worn with any standard soccer sock. To ensure the longevity of your product, avoid machine washing. Clean the guards by wiping the hard shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the guards in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the foam from deteriorating or the plastic from warping.
