Guides for Fit, Protection, and Performance
Shin Guard Sizing
Shin Guard Sizing Guide
Finding the right size is the #1 factor in comfort and protection.
How to measure:
- Measure height, age, weight.
- Match that measurement to the size chart shown on each product page.
- If between sizes, choose the smaller size for a snug fit, or larger for more coverage.
Fit Tips:
- Shin guards should sit comfortably under the sleeve without shifting.
- No sharp edges, no pressure points, no sliding during play.
- For youth players, comfort = confidence.
Sleeve Fitting
Hero Shin Guards
- Slide your Sure-Grip Sleeve onto your leg.
- Place the shin guard inside the sleeve in the pocket of the sleeve, centered on the shin bone.
- Pull the top pocket down to lock everything in place.
Should feel secure and slightly tight — no sliding, no pressure points.
Agility Mini Shin Guards
- Insert the Mini guard into your sock.
- Center it on the shin and adjust for comfort.
- Optional, fold the top of sock into your agility mini guard for tighter fit.
Designed for players who prefer lighter protection and maximum mobility.
Practice vs. Game Day
- Practice: You can wear sleeves alone or with guards depending on comfort and intensity.
- Game Day: Wear socks over the sleeve + guard system for a clean, secure fit that meets league expectations.
