Choosing the right pair of shin guards can depend on many various factors, such as cost and age and material. But one way to determine which pair are the right shin guards for you, is to base your choice on the position that you are playing.
Younger soccer players should always choose a light weight shin guard, fibreglass is the best because it is the lightest and offers very good protection. Defensemen should opt for a heavier, more protective shin guard, midfielders tend to need a combination of protection and lighter weight, and forwards need to choose a light weight shin guard which also offers very good ankle protection.
It is possible to find shin guards that can be moulded and custom designed to fit your leg and this means that you will have a superior fitting shin guard that will offer you maximum protection when playing soccer.
You also need to consider size:
Shin guards should cover the area from ankle to knee, so measure from where the knee bends to 1 inch above your shoe top and this will be the proper length of the shin guard that you require.
Sizes: senior- taller than 5’4”
Junior- shorter than 5’4”
