Had the same problem, get any old medical bandage, the tight stuff, and put it over your leg and pop your shinpads in there.
Or a little more expensive but great:

I got them from that place, they're called Nike Guard Stay and are perfect for what you want mate.

Just use some tape

Used to have that problem as well and I hated it. :down:

Anyways, socks are a big part of this issue. If you have new and tight socks, they should be able to hold up small to medium sized guards. You should also look into getting smaller shinguards unless you are afraid of getting hurt. Tape will help but if the socks are too lose, the tape and the guards are going to slip down. Also, there are little sleeves you can get that will help your guards still up.

That's a genius idea
Only thing that fails about it is how to wash the sock...  :3some:

Im <b>think</b> it's the law in most leagues to wear them, so they probably have very thin and low duty ones. Like Thierry never looked like he had any on to me, but I saw a picture and you can just make them out.

the man on my picture (edgar davids, if you dont know) made this mistake of not wearing shin guards last summer, he broke his leg and returned some weeks ago, so always wear them, you never know who you're playing against

hmmm, the shing guards i use have ankle pads stuck to the shing guards, so they hold themselves in place.

and NO proffessional footballer can play without shin guards, in no league, in no part of the world.

if there falling down just do what oli said, just put tape on them.

I remember I went to a cheap school we all showed up to the game without chin guards so we had to wear cricket chin guards which are very large and cardboard cut outs to make it look like we had them. We still won 7-1.  :lol:

Adidas shin guards rocks, never had a problem with them. I'm always going for the best shin guards, price aint important. Just started practice again (some people maybe remember me from the "old"(?) forum, injured for a long time) and I only use the best, dont want to get injured again.

Nike's shin guards, aint they small?

mine are those nike protegga. The actual shield doesn't start right near your ankle so it's more comfortable with the ball.
