Shin & Instep Padded Guards, Elastic, Impact-Absorbing Shin Guards with Snug Support, Ideal for MMA, Muay Thai, and Martial Arts, Washable MMA Gear for Men and Women

These are a great 2-in-1 pad. Not only protects the shin but also the foot and ankle. Great for training but can't be used in certain tournaments per individual guidelines. (Some require specific name brand equipment.) Thicker than I thought but very flexible and lighter too. You can tell you're wearing them the first few times but afterwards I was comfortable with them and could move more freely. Snug fit so they don't slide but not super tight. I'm 5'4" and have thicker calves. I ordered a medium and they're a great fit right below the knee and just cover my toes.

Great Product, cheap and affordable fits great. I was definitely skeptical but it actually worked out for me!!!

These shin guards are awesome, very easy to wash and comfortable. Only bad part is I’ve had them for 1 week and when I washed them the thread is starting to come out and print coming off too. For the price they’re good.

I've been using mine for about a month or so. The only thing I don't like about these is that they're hard to get off after getting sweaty. I've tried a few different methods but the easiest way to get them off is to use the stiffness off the padding to shove it down your leg. With that said I don't think I've ever had to re-adjust them while training. They sit really well on your leg but still allow proper mobility. The padding is thick enough to take a hit but you can still get a feel for where it landed. They aren't as convenient as strap-on guards but they work just as well for WAY less money. If you want to do a lot of heavy sparring maybe you'd want to buy the more expensive ones but I've seen guys at my gym only use these. Cleaning them is as easy as chucking them in the washer but they do shrink slightly after putting them in the dryer. With everything said I'd rate them 9/10 with one point off for how hard they're to get off

Great quality and I love that I can remove the pads and wash the sleeve

I don't know if any of the other reviewers had this issue but the reason for docking two stars was because when I received the item they had an extremely STRONG SMELL as if it was dipped in Bug Spray. It was very potent, I had to wash it several times before I wore it. It seems the smell is embedded or part of the material it is made of, because even after 5 washes the smell is still there but at least it is a little less. So I am guessing the fabric or maybe what they use to print the name/logo on these may be the cause, but I am not sure. Otherwise it works okay and the price it good for what it is, which is why I did not return them and it helps protect the shins and ankle for practice. I did find that it does stretch a bit more than I expected it to and I had gotten a size larger because I was worried it would be tight like other ankle type braces but I should have probably gotten the size small. So if you choose to purchase this go ahead and get the size you normally would buy.Other than the strong bug spray like smell (that seems to be embedded in the fabric) it works fine as intended for practice.

Exactly as described and received timely from vendor.

I attend kickboxing class 3 times a week. The dojo I go to has one hanging bag that is filled with sand so the sand pools at the bottom. These guards are padded enough that I can kick that bag at full speed no problem. They also make leg checks less painful. The stitching is coming undone in one spot but it's negligible for the price. The elastic seam that goes across the Achilles' heel does dig in but I usually don't notice it. When you first get them the foot pad does rub uncomfortably on the top of your foot but once you soften the foam its fine. They slide off better when you're wearing them on bare legs. If you wear leggings or pants underneath the guards don't slide of as easy due to the friction. Make sure to measure your legs so you get the corrects size. I have worn oversized guards and have had the guard rotate off my shin as I'm kicking a bag.
