The Nike Guard Stay II Shin Guard Sleeve excels at its primary function: keeping your shin guards locked down. During a fast-paced football match or an intense training session, these straps eliminate the common distraction of shin guards riding up or sliding down. To achieve optimal performance, ensure the strap is applied with firm but not overly tight tension. You can wear them directly below your shin guards, wrapped around the top of your calf, or at the very base of the shin guard, depending on your personal preference and the design of your shin guards. The soft elastic material will contour to your leg, providing a supportive feel without restricting movement. Their lightweight nature means you'll hardly notice they're there, allowing you to focus purely on your game. For example, when making a sharp turn or engaging in a tackle, the Guard Stay II ensures your protection stays exactly where you need it.
Place Shin Guard: First, put on your shin guards and position them comfortably on your shins.
Position the Sleeve: Take one Nike Guard Stay II Shin Guard Sleeve. You can choose to place it either:
Below the Shin Guard: Wrap it around your calf, just beneath the bottom edge of your shin guard.
At the Base of the Shin Guard: Wrap it around the lower part of your shin guard and ankle, overlapping the shin guard itself.
Secure the Closure: Bring the two ends of the strap together and firmly press the hook-and-loop closure to secure it. Adjust the tension until the strap feels snug but not uncomfortably tight, ensuring your shin guard is held firmly.
Repeat for Other Leg: Apply the second sleeve to your other leg, following the same steps.
These Guard Stay sleeves are designed to be universally compatible with most types and brands of football/soccer shin guards. Their adjustable nature allows them to fit a wide range of leg sizes.
To prolong the life and maintain the elasticity of your Nike Guard Stay II Shin Guard Sleeves:
Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cold water with mild soap.
Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as excessive heat can damage the elastic and hook-and-loop material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
