Questions
How do I choose the right size for these shin guards?
Measure the length of your shin from just below the kneecap to the top of your foot. Compare this measurement to the size chart to find the best fit. If you're between sizes, consider if you prioritize more coverage (size up) or more agility (size down).
Are these shin guards suitable for daily training?
Yes, the genuine cowhide leather and handmade construction make these shin guards durable enough for regular training and sparring sessions.
How should I care for the genuine leather?
After use, wipe down the shin guards with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Occasionally, you can apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
What is the difference between 'Genuine Leather' and 'Semi Leather' options?
The 'Genuine Leather' option is made entirely from cowhide leather. The 'Semi Leather' option typically refers to a synthetic leather blend, which may offer a different feel and durability profile compared to full genuine leather.
