Shin guards on sale

What can you find in the shin guard sales?

The shin guard sales bring together on this page the models available at reduced prices, all uses combined: training, matches, goalkeepers or field players. You will find thin and lightweight shin guards for mobility, shell-type models for enhanced protection, and options that include ankle protection. There are children's and adult sizes, making it easy to equip the whole family on one page.

How to choose a shin guard suitable for your game?

The choice mainly depends on your position and sensitivity to contact. A thin and flexible shin guard, like the Nike Mercurial Lite models, is suitable for a player seeking speed and minimal hassle when running. In contrast, a shell-type shin guard, such as the G-Form Pro-S Elite X or Pro-S Blade, offers more enveloping protection for players exposed to tackles or those playing in defense.

Some models go further by also covering the ankle, such as the Precision Origin.0 shin guard and ankle support, which is worth considering after a sprain or for players wanting to secure that area. For children, dedicated options like the G-Form V2 child shin guard are designed for smaller sizes without sacrificing support.

Frequently asked questions

Is a child’s shin guard really different from an adult model?

Yes, a child’s shin guard is shorter and narrower, designed for smaller shins and calves, like the models from the G-Form V2 child range. An adult shin guard poorly fitted to a child can slip or ride up during activity and lose its protective function, so it’s better to choose a model designed for their body type.

Do you need a shin guard with ankle protection?

This type of model, such as the shin guard and ankle support Precision Origin.0, is particularly useful if you have previously had a sprain or play in a position that is very exposed to contact on the support. For regular use without previous issues, a standard shin guard is generally sufficient. You can also look at the protection gear if you’re looking to secure another area of the body.

What size shin guard should you choose?

The size is generally chosen based on your height or shoe size, with each brand providing its own sizing chart. If you're in doubt between two sizes, it's often better to go for the larger size to ensure good coverage of the shin during play.

How to know if a shin guard is approved for competition?

Approved models generally bear the CE mark, as is the case for certain references like G-Form Pro-S Elite X or Pro-S Blade listed on this page. This mark indicates that the shin guard meets current safety standards for club play.

When is the best time to buy your shin guards?
