Geekism Soccer Shin Guards for Youth Kids Toddler, Protective Soccer Shin Pads & Sleeves Equipment - Football Gear for 3 5 4-6 7-9 10-12 Years Old Children Teens Boys Girls

Geekism builds these youth shin guards around a high strength PP front plate paired with an EVA backing layer. The plastic shell stays light while the softer backing sits against the leg, and the contoured shape follows the line of the lower leg rather than pressing flat against it.

The guards hold their position during play instead of sliding around, and the adjustable elastic hook-and-loop straps let the fit be tightened or loosened as needed. Putting them on is simple: place the pad over the shin, then pull the sock up over it. The included cotton socks are 95% cotton with 5% natural latex rubber, so they stretch to sit close over the pads.

• S: 8.5 x 14.5 cm, ages 3 to 5
• M: 9.5 x 17 cm, ages 4 to 8
• L: 10 x 19 cm, ages 8 to 15

Supplied as one blue pack and one black pack. Backed by a 60 day money back guarantee.

When choosing between sizes, measure the length of the child's shin from just below the knee to just above the ankle bone rather than relying on age alone, since children of the same age can vary considerably in leg length. The size letters printed on the pack correspond to the dimensions listed, so a quick comparison against a ruler before opening the packaging confirms the right fit. For players who fall between sizes, fitting up tends to work better than fitting down, as a slightly longer plate still covers the shin while a shorter one may leave the lower shin exposed during a slide or collision.

After a match or training session, pulling the guards out of the socks and wiping the EVA backing with a damp cloth helps clear sweat and grit before storage. Leaving them flat rather than stacking them under weight keeps the plastic plate from warping over time. The cotton socks can be laundered normally. These guards suit players just starting out in organised youth leagues or recreational kickabouts, where a lightweight, easy-on design matters more than the heavier padded options used by older competitive players.
