The advantages of small shin pads

Among the new generation of footballers, and top players at international level, small shin pads like the ones we offer have become a popular choice. But why? What makes mini shin pads a better alternative for many players?

Ultralight and discreet – Maximum comfort and freedom

Unlike traditional, heavier shin guards, our mini shin pads are ultra-light and compact. They are designed to be so discreet and comfortable that players barely notice them during play. This lightness allows maximum freedom of movement and minimizes irritation, making them perfect for long, intense matches. They create a natural feel so you can fully focus on the game without being distracted by your equipment. At the same time, the strong material ensures effective protection against impacts and blows, so you can play confidently and without compromising on comfort.

Which top-shelf players use mini shin pads?

Several top players choose mini shin pads for maximum comfort and freedom of movement. Among them are Florian Wirtz, Malo Gusto, Roony Bardghji, Ansu Fati and especially Jack Grealish is known to prefer the small lightweight shin guards.

Training without shin pads – Challenges in the transition to match

There is also a significant difference in how both training and matches feel when it comes to wearing shin pads. Many teams train without shin pads, which can make the transition to matches more challenging, as large shin pads often feel both disruptive and heavy. To perform optimally, the body's sensation in matches should ideally be as close to the training sensation as possible. That is why many players, including professionals, choose small shin pads, which provide a sensation that is almost identical to what they experience during training.

Our players experience the difference – Hear what they say

One of the players who has chosen our mini shin guards is Hørður Askham, who plays for FC Roskilde in the 1st division and for the Faroese A-team. He says the following about our mini shin guards:

"I've used them in a few matches now, and I don't notice that I'm playing with shin guards, which gives me the same feeling as I have during training. It means something to me as a footballer to train just like I do when I play a match"

Another player who uses our mini shin pads is Dajan Hashemi, who plays for Brøndby IF in the Gjensidige Kvindeliga – the top women's football league in Denmark. She says the following about the shin guards: "The shin guards are of good quality and comfortable to play with! "
