Shinpads, or shinguards, offer vital protection for the lower leg, absorbing and deflecting impact forces to help prevent injury. They’re so important, in fact, that FIFA deem them compulsory for play at every level of the game. The ref won’t let you over the white line without a pair.
Their resilient construction guards against painful cuts and bruises from wayward tackles, and their key function is to protect the otherwise vulnerable tibia – the shin bone – from potential fractures.
There are various types available, made from straightforward plastic to the latest impact-reactive materials, with or without sleeves and straps, in many shapes and sizes. It’s up to you what style you wear but always make sure your shin is adequately covered. Remember: any exposed area is putting you at risk of a serious injury. Stay safe and stay on the pitch.
adidas Kids x Messi Match Shinpads
Back the GOAT as he sets his sights on even more silverware with the adidas Kids x Messi Match Shinpads in Silver Met./lucid Red/Black.
Designed in celebration of one of football's most beloved players, the adidas Messi Match shinpads show your support for the eight-time Ballon d'Or-winner in training and on matchdays. Eye-catching Silver Metallic and Lucid Red colours evoke the Argentine legend’s signature adidas F50 boots, and Messi's name, personal logo and number 10 complete the look with a flourish. The supportive ankle guard works with the hard exterior to prevent painful bumps and scrapes in the heat of intense on-pitch battles, so you can slide in for last-ditch tackles or dribble past aggressive defenders without worrying about injury. EVA backing offers top-rate shock absorption, so big impacts have a smaller effect. Made in part with recycled materials, these shin pads cut down on the manufacturing of virgin products, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of each pair.
