shin guards
« on: Jan 21, 2008, 01:50: AM »
I'm playing football and I wear some nike shin guards and they keep falling down during the match.It' very annoying and I don't know what to do,so,every comment,suggestion or advice is welcome...


I'm so fucking glad to live right now, in this insane time of Phelps, Bolt and Lin Dan...(if I start numbering all great footballers it would take tooooo much space...)

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.

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.

I had a dream where i made a new nike shinguard, the guards were stitched inside the sock  :rolleyes:

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

whatever is comfortable. whatever shinguards i have have to have the mini breathable holes. otherwise my calves cramp up like a girl on her period. no ankle guards and medium in size

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.
