Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
Select your size based on your height: Medium is recommended for individuals between 5'6" and 5'11", while Large is suitable for those 6ft and taller. The fit should be snug to prevent shifting during training.
Are these suitable for sparring?
Yes, these shinguards are engineered for serious training, including sparring. The triple-layer high-density foam and full coverage provide excellent impact absorption and protection for both you and your training partners.
How do I care for the leather?
After each use, wipe down the leather with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Periodically, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
What does 'boot shinguards' mean?
Boot shinguards refer to the design that includes integrated protection for the top of the foot, extending from the shin guard. This provides more comprehensive coverage than shin guards that only protect the lower leg.
