Soccer Shinguards Buying Guide
Adidas F50 ForMotion Shinguard
Soccer is a game where you play with your feet, and get kicked in the legs. We’ve all experienced a good knock to the legs. That’s why it is vital to have good, protective equipment surrounding your legs. Shinguards. Here’s what to look for when shopping for shinguards.
- Comfort- Unlike shoes and apparel, shinguards do not need to have a stylish appearance, however they rely most on comfort. There are a number of types of shinguards available for purchase, you just need to decide which one fits your needs.
Here are the different types of shinguards available.
- Full Guards with ankle strap and large sized guard – such as the Adidas Predator Replique Shinguards
- Small Guard which slips in. It usually comes with a cover sleeve- like the Adidas Pro Lite Shinguard
- Full guard which looks like a sock. Pulls up leg easy, offering maximum protection- the Adidas F50 ForMotion Shinguard is an example.

- Adidas’ Climacool, Nike’s’ Drifit, and Under Armour Technology- A situation I’ve been in is, ‘I’m in the 75th minute, and I can hardly concentrate on the game because my shinguards are lined with sweat, and are bugging me to death. It is a terrible predicament to be in, which is why I’ve added the moisture wicking technology, as a must to my buying guide. With shinguards that have this technology, your sweat rate on your legs will decrease by a massive amount from when you wear other shinguards that do not have this great feature. This is a must look for, when buying your shinguards.
