Questions
How do I clean and care for these leather shinguards?
Wipe down with a damp cloth after each use. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain the leather's integrity.
Are these suitable for intense sparring sessions?
Yes, the triple-layer, high-density latex foam core and comprehensive coverage are specifically engineered for serious training and intense sparring, offering superior impact absorption.
What is the difference between the M and L sizes?
The M size is recommended for athletes 5'6" - 5'11", while the L size is recommended for those 6ft and taller. These recommendations primarily relate to shin length and overall coverage.
Does the full foot cover restrict movement?
The full foot cover provides excellent protection but can slightly limit the extreme flexibility of the ankle and foot compared to shinguards with minimal or no foot protection. This is a trade-off for enhanced safety.
