Northdeer Soccer Shin Guards for Kids Adults. Sleeves with Optimized Insert Pocket - Protective Soccer for Boys Girls Men

My 7 year old plays soccer (two seasons a year for 3 years now, so we go thru a lot of soccer gear!) and she absolutely loves these! These shin guards are light weight and very sturdy and stay in place great! They are also much more comfortable that the Velcro strap kind when being worn against bare skin (with shorts.)Before this we used the kind with the ankle strap that slid on over her socks and had the Velcro straps for around the calf of the leg. Those did the job, but with her being on the smaller side they’d often shift around and twist up on her while running or the straps would pop loose and come undone during games. These are a definite step up!The fabric part slides right on over her soccer socks. I used the sizing chart in the listing and the fit is perfect for her. The material is breathable and washable! Once you slide the material part into place, you just slip the insert into the little pocket (left and right are clearly marked on the front so it is easy to see if they are on the right side) and the fabric folds shut to hold the insert in place during games and practices! They don’t climb up the leg, they don’t rotate around her leg, they stay put really well! She wore shorts and left her socks tall with the shin guard over the top of the sock, but the soft mesh like material is breathable so it should be comfortable if worn against the skin.After a muddy practice, I removed the insert and hand washed them in the sink and slipped them over a clothes hanger to air dry. But I did machine wash them when they first arrived them in the mail (my child has sensitive skin) and they held up perfectly! (Air dried, did not put them in the dryer. But they were completely dry in about 40 min.)The price isn’t bad either! And they arrived in just a couple of days, exactly when they were supposed to arrive!

We loved these so much for my son, we bought another pair when his little brother started soccer as well. These are so easy to use. They fit well with a comfortable amount of stretch. My oldest has been using them over a year in soccer and I can't even tell the new pair from the old pair. Highly recommend for little kids soccer.

The sleeves are a little loose (I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs). I tried practicing with the guards in just the sleeves and they slid down to my ankles. With socks on they stay in place just fine (the pocket in the sleeve keeps them from riding up) and they're easy to take off at the end of the session. Good coverage of my shins - they've saved me from getting mauled by my 7th grader a few times when we practice together. They seem solidly designed, the channels in the backing foam are a nice touch and help them stay a little cooler. I remember my shins being soaked under my guards after games when I was in youth soccer in the 90s. These seem like they can actually breathe a bit. The color is fine, but they're under sleeves and socks so nobody is going to see them anyways. Overall value is pretty good, I'd say the features offered are comparable to slightly more expensive products from flagship brands.

I recently purchased these Shin Guards for my som’s soccer games, and overall, they have been a solid addition to my gear. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with them:Ease of Use:One of the standout features of the Shin Guards is how incredibly easy they are to put on and take off. The adjustable straps and lightweight design allow me to slip them on in seconds, which is a huge plus when I’m in a hurry or right before a game. I appreciate not having to fumble with complicated buckles or clips, making my pre-game routine much smoother.Comfort:In terms of comfort, these shin guards are fantastic. The padding is soft yet protective, and they mold nicely to my legs without feeling bulky. I’ve worn them for extended practice sessions without any discomfort or irritation. The breathable material also helps keep my legs cool, which is essential during those intense drills.Easy to Clean:Cleaning the Shin Guards is a breeze! After a muddy game, I simply wipe them down with a damp cloth, and they look as good as new. The material doesn’t absorb odors, which is a huge relief, especially after a long day of practice.Performance Issue:While I’m generally pleased with the performance, there is one slight issue I’ve encountered. During running drills, I’ve noticed that the shin guards can shift a bit out of place. They don’t seem to stay as securely positioned as I would like, which can be a distraction when I’m focused on the game. A more secure fastening system or additional grip could improve this aspect significantly.

Daughter and son both use these, fit was good and while I bought them for strength the kids said they were light weight and comfortable.
