Football Shin Guards for Children and Adults

Shin guards are not only absolutely necessary in football for both men and women, but they are also mandatory. As part of personal protective equipment, they protect the particularly vulnerable front of the lower legs from injuries. When the game gets intense, tackles can be fierce.

The shin bone lies just beneath the skin without the protection of muscles or fat. A kick with the opponent's studs can cause painful injuries. Without protective gear, the impact forces are not absorbed and distributed.

In the uhlsport shop, there are shin guards for children and adults in various sizes and designs. The guards have ankle protection and accessories like sock tape are also available.

Football Shin Guards from uhlsport

Shin guards are essential in other sports like martial arts and mountain biking, but nowhere are they worn as frequently as in football. uhlsport's football shin guards come in different designs because every player has their personal preferences.

Some appreciate the stability extending down to the ankle area that shin guards with ankle protection offer, while others prefer smaller, lighter options. Carbon materials are optimal here; their lightweight nature makes your shin guards genuinely light while still being highly fracture-resistant and impact-resistant.

For effective impact absorption, shin guards need to fit well and offer high wearing comfort. The high-quality uhlsport shin guards are anatomically shaped and cover the entire front leg area precisely. Their full-surface coverage prevents localized pressure points during impacts and minimizes the risk of pressure or chafing marks.

The exterior of the actual shin guard consists of a stable plate that is flexible enough to absorb hard blows but firm enough to provide sufficient resistance against the opponent's studs and protect your shins.

The soft, cushioned inner material is high-quality and skin-friendly. While sweating under the guards cannot be avoided, the smart design of the uhlsport shin guards ensures good air circulation. For those who prioritize breathability, there are shin guards with perforated plates.

Shin Guards for Children

Especially in youth teams, the game can get very intense. Functional and, above all, properly fitting shin guards are therefore extremely important for children. If they are too small, they cannot provide adequate protection.

On the other hand, too large shin guards can disrupt natural movement. Therefore, football shin guards for children should always be selected in a size that matches the child's height. This is the only way they can offer optimal protection. Our size chart quickly determines the right size for children's shin guards.

Shin Guards with Straps: Sleeves, Velcro, Tape & Co.

A slipping shin guard during training or a match is very uncomfortable. Therefore, it is important that the guard fits comfortably and securely.

Many models, such as the uhlsport TIBIA PLATE PRO, use elastic straps to ensure a secure fit under the sock. Alternatively, shin guards with socks or sleeves fix the plate in an insertion pocket.

Some guards, like the CARBONFLEX EVO, also offer a compression effect that improves performance. Minimalists can use holders for guards. For additional hold, uhlsport's Tube-It-Tape, which only sticks to itself and leaves no residue, is suitable.

Shin Guards with Ankle Protection

Football players know from experience that the ankle area is heavily stressed and prone to injuries. Shin guards with ankle protection offer a solution: they stabilize ligaments and tendons and help prevent sprains and overstretching. Models like the FLEX PLATE shin guard have a softly padded ankle bandage. In many models, such as the PRO LITE PLUS, this bandage is even removable and can be used as needed.

Shin Guards without Ankle Protection

For players who prefer full freedom of movement at the ankle, shin guards without ankle protection are ideal. These end at the ankle joint and are held there by an elastic band. The plate is simply inserted into the sleeve. Short shin guards like the BIONIKSHIELD and CARBONFLEX EVO from uhlsport are perfect for footballers who prefer ankle-free shin guards.

Small Shin Guards

Absolute minimalists prefer lightweight, breathable shin guards that are barely noticeable. The SUPER LITE PLUS shin guard from uhlsport perfectly meets these requirements. Thanks to innovative materials, the weight can be reduced without compromising stability and protection.

Which Shin Guards Do Professionals Wear?

Professional footballers usually wear small and lightweight shin guards that are often custom-made. These mini shin guards offer the necessary protection without impairing mobility. Models like the uhlsport Super Lite Plus are particularly popular here.

Are Shin Guards Mandatory in Football?

Yes, shin guards are mandatory in football and an important part of the game. FIFA and other football associations have stipulated that all players must wear shin guards to minimize the risk of injury. This rule applies to both professional and amateur competitions, including tournaments like the World Cup, the Champions League, and national leagues like the Bundesliga.

What is the Right Size for Shin Guards?

To ensure the guard's protective effect can unfold optimally, it must be bought in the correct size. The appropriate shin guard size can be determined from the uhlsport size chart for shin guards.
