Shin Pads

FORZA shin pads deliver unbeatable comfort and protection at a great price, for players of every age group and ability level. Choose from lightweight mini shin guards, guards with full ankle protection, and shin pad and compression sleeve combos. With sizes for kids and adults, and smart designs featuring TPU memory-flex shells and comfortable EVA foam, FORZA shin pads combine safety and durability without restricting movement.

Shin pads should fit snugly, so that they don't move around or hinder play or movement. They should not be uncomfortable or tight enough to restrict blood flow in any way. You should be able to flex and extend your knee and ankle without any restriction. Soccer shin guards should cover most of your shin. Depending on the type of shin guard, they will typically come up to the top of your shin, just below your knee. This can vary with the shin pad design — for example, Pro-Mould Shin Guards don't tend to come up as high on the shin as the full guards with ankle protection.

If you have any issues with keeping your chosen shin guards in place, the easiest solution is to use PVC soccer tape. Put your shin pad on, then your soccer sock, and place tape around the top of the sock. Fold the sock over the top of the tape. Try to match the tape to the same, or a similar colour to your socks.

FORZA shin guards are sized based on the height of each player. You will find a size guide on each of the product pages for the shin guards. XXS fits players 110 to 120cm tall, XS fits 120 to 140cm, S fits 140 to 160cm, and M/L fits players 160cm and above. If you fall between two sizes, it is generally best to size up. Some shin pads don't have a size guide on their product page because the size is universal — one size fits all.
