Goalkeeper shorts and padded shorts on sale

What can you find in the goalkeeper shorts sale selection?

This selection includes the goalkeeper shorts and tights available on sale at Foot-Store, from simple training models to padded versions designed for diving. You'll find both adult technical gear and children's shorts featuring club colours, so you can outfit a goalkeeper of any age without paying full price.

Shorts or tights for goalkeepers: how to choose?

The classic goalkeeper shorts leave the knee free and are suitable for both training and matches, while the tights are higher up on the thigh and often include compression that supports the muscles during exertion. Padded models, like those with hip protection, are primarily aimed at keepers who dive frequently and want to reduce friction and impacts on hard surfaces. Compression shorts, on the other hand, focus more on muscle support, particularly around the groin, for training or recovery.

Other goalkeeper gear available in the sale

The shorts or tights are not enough to fully equip a goalkeeper: the following pages cover the rest of the kit, which is also on sale.

• The goalkeeper jerseys, with cuts and padding specific to the position.
• The goalkeeper baselayers, to wear under the jersey to protect against cold or friction.
• The goalkeeper pants, for outdoor training or cool days.
• The goalkeeper socks, often reinforced at the shin.

Uhlsport, Reusch, adidas and other brands available

The selection covers well-known brands in the goalkeeper position, each with its own specifics. Uhlsport and Reusch, historic brands in goalkeeper equipment, offer shorts designed for protection and comfort during matches. adidas, Nike, Hummel, Macron and Errea complete the range with more versatile cuts, suitable for training as well as competition. McDavid stands out with its compression shorts, focused more on muscle support than impact protection.

Frequently asked questions

What size goalkeeper shorts should I choose for a child?

The size mainly depends on the child's age and body shape, as each brand and club has its own sizing charts. It's recommended to check the measurements provided on the product page before ordering, especially for models featuring a club's colours like FC Barcelona, Arsenal, or Liverpool.

Is a classic goalkeeper short suitable for daily training?

Yes, non-padded shorts like those from Uhlsport or Hummel are very good for regular training; they are lighter and more breathable. Padded versions are especially useful in matches or during sessions with lots of dives on hard ground.

What's the difference between goalkeeper shorts and tights?

The shorts stop above the knee and allow for more freedom of movement, while the tights go higher on the thigh and often provide support through compression. The choice mainly depends on the feel the goalkeeper wants during exertion.

Do compression shorts only serve goalkeepers?

No, compression shorts like the McDavid Cross Compression are designed to support the muscles, especially the groin, and can be worn by any player looking for muscle support during training or recovery.

Can you find goalkeeper shorts in national team colours?

Yes, the selection occasionally includes models related to national teams, alongside the club references. The availability of these models varies with stock, so it's useful to check this page regularly.
