Shin Guards

Designed by soccer players, for soccer players, FORZA shin guards offer optimal comfort and protection at a great price. Choose from an array of styles including guards with full ankle protection and smaller slip-in designs. Available in kids sizes from age 6 and below, to XL for adults, there's a pair for every player in every position. Made with ultra-durable materials including TPU memory-flex shells, and comfortable EVA foam, you can shield your shins and ankles from injury without restricting movement.

Soccer shin guards should fit snugly, so that the shin pads don't move when you run or play, but aren't so tight that they are uncomfortable. The shin guard should cover most of your shin bone, from just above the ankle bone to slightly below the knee. You should be able to flex and move your ankles without restriction, and the shin pad should not hinder any part of your game, including passing, shooting or controlling the ball.

Shin guards should come up to just below the knee. Depending on your height, this will typically be approximately 1.5 to 2 inches below the knee. Make sure you are able to run, flex and extend your knee without any obstruction or discomfort.

FORZA shin guards are sized based on the height of the player. The size guide on each product page shows four sizes to choose from. 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. Simply check the player's height against the guide to find the correct size. If you fall between two sizes, it is usually better to go with the larger option to ensure full coverage of the shin bone.

The most popular way to keep shin pads and socks securely in place, is to use PVC soccer tape. Simply position the shin pad on your shin, pull your sock up over it and wrap a strip of FORZA PVC Soccer Tape around the outside of the sock, a few inches from the top of the sock, and right below the top of the shin pad. The top of the sock then folds over the tape. If possible, try and match the color of the tape, to the color of your socks.

The majority of FORZA shin guards are available in black and white. Both options feature the same lightweight, durable construction and protective performance, so the choice simply comes down to personal preference or which color best complements your team's kit.
