Storelli BodyShield Leg Guards, Premium Compression Shin Guard Sleeves for Soccer Players, UV-Resistant, Unisex, 1 Pair

I bought these for my average height/weight 8 yr old son (size small) and 10 yr old daughter (size medium) to replace their worn out shin guards with the velcro straps under the knee and stinky strap under the foot. They loved them immediately and said were soooo much more comfortable, my daughter said "they feel like socks"! My son declared them 'slippery cozy' and 'smooth' and the best Christmas gift of the day (?!!) I immediately gave away all of their old gear and bought them more Storelli leg guards to keep up with how often they'll be using them. They both play "club" soccer 4x-6x/week and I wash them and line dry them every time they play because they get sweaty like a sock.Comfort: (1) These give them some extra compression for good blood flow up from their legs (2) this summer I expect they will be able to just wear ankle socks with them to avoid doubling up with the usual knee high soccer socks and getting too many layers on their legs in the heat. (3) these put a layer of fabric between the skin and the hard shin guard, which helps minimize stink and skin rash problems (we've had kids on the team not be able to play for a few weeks due to irritation/rashes on their shins from their guards), and (4) my kids play a lot of soccer, both play defense, and as they get older, the games get rougher, they love the extra protection of this product.I love their "ease of use" because (1) I am so tired of the old velcro-strapped shin guards which constantly snagged my kids socks as well as ruined more than a few team jerseys in their bag, (2) since they are a smooth fabric and the hard part (the actual shin guard, purchased separately) slips inside the pocket, my kids have an easier time pulling on their soccer socks over the guards - again no more snagging straps or edges to get caught on and I don't have to help my youngest, who got really frustrated trying to get on his soccer socks over his old-style guards.I only wish I'd started with this product when my kids first started playing U6. It is a much better design, well worth the price if your kids love to play.

I bought these at least a couple of years ago and they have worked excellet. Never I had such a great experience dealing with shinguards, I have played soccer since I can remember and will never buy any other sort of shin guards. Believe me, I've tried them all and these are the most comfortable, lightweight, easy to put on and most important, they do keep the shinguard in it's right place at all times, even after being hit on the shin!!! I have at least used them in 60 to 70 competitive games (plus countless of practice 6-6 games, both outdoors and indorrs) and there is no damage to them. I do wash them on a washer machine and I have tried to avoid putting them in the dryer machine (but have done so several times by mistake) and they're still in perfect condition after 2 years of use. Whenever they go, I will buy exactly the same set again, worth the money.

These are brilliant. I bought them for my 8 year old daughter (youth small). I bought her a small and this size didn't fit tightly on her, but they weren't very loose either. I was worried at first because until you get the guard in (ghost pro YS is what I purchased with this based on other reviews- Thanks for that, couldnt be a better fit), it looked like it was going to shift all over the place....got a bit tighter when she put them in place. Socks went on and she said "wow...this is so much better, I don't feel the scratchy velcro strap" etc. She trained in them aaaand she loves them. I asked her after practice: "felt like I wasn't wearing shinguards at all." I'm a coach and a former player- I highly suggest giving these a shot. The players around this age group can still be a bit clumsy when tackling and these have protection around the outside of the lower calves where players tend to get clipped often. They are alot less bulky around the ankle area with a denser but flexible padding as opposed to the current popular stirrup style. Fantastic design, added protection, breathable, functional. 100% the new standard for my kids- my son tried them tonight- loves them. I'm ordering another set for him.

My goal keeper likes these so much we bought more pairs to rotate them. Her shin guards slide in nicely and they keep the guard from sliding sideways. They do get a bit uncomfortable in hot weather with socks over them but she still loves them. We wash in machine and line dry and they have lasted quite a while, minus the Storelli logo that has peeled off. The side padding helps, although it's sadly not going to stop a Striker's foot as well as a shin guard.

These shinguards weren't exactly as I had hoped. They did the initial job, holding the shinguards in place, but I had to use another shin guard holder in order for them to definantly not shimmy around. The design was very sleek though, it was a nice solid black with some bright green. The fabric wasn't super tight, but instead it was very breathable, which made it comfortable to wear and play soccer in.

My son is 10. Undersized at around 4'2". 55 pounds give or take. He's been in soccer since he was 3 in fundamentals. Now he's the starting left wing on a select traveling team. At his size, he definitely throws down and isn't scared. But he takes a beaten. He recently had a 4 wheeler accident that gave him a bad sprain on his right foot/ankle/calf. So after he healed we wanted to be sure he had more protection. Bought these, they are absolutely awesome. He loves them, gives him a little more support and protection. Love the slide in pouch for shin guards. Absolutely nothing bad to say. Highly recommended.
