Shinguards with anklesock

Shinguards with anklesock vs. shinguards without anklesock

Shin guards are mandatory when you play a football match, the KNVB rules clearly state that anyone without shin guards may not take part in the match. And not without reason, because a knock on your shin hurts incredibly and can also cause a serious injury. Many footballers therefore regularly go looking for good shin guards. To protect your ankles too, there are special shin guards with ankle protection. The shin guard then has an anklesock attached, so you put it on like a sock. Shinguards without anklesock really only protect your shin and often close with velcro. These are often worn by seniors, while the first variant is mainly seen among juniors.

What should shinguards with anklesock meet?

Shinguards with or without anklesock, for junior or senior: we have it all in our range. If you decide to go for shinguards with anklesock, you should know that the velcro is elastic. This way it doesn't pinch, the shin guard stays in place, and it lasts longer than versions without elastic. You'll also mainly find materials such as carbon (light and strong), PVC (plastic) and polyurethane (heavy and stiff). So take a good look at the differences. It's also worth knowing that many defenders and defensive midfielders choose shinguards with anklesock, because they need to be able to make quick and flexible movements.
