Previous Feedback
Comments: These pads do the job of protecting you and they are quite comfortable. I do like that there isn't an upper strap as it allows for upper leg mobility much more effectively than my previous pads. However, you will need to tap these or wear socks around them. With only one velcro strap I was constantly having to put these back on. But I think a lot of that is due to the fact that the velcro is too big. I have pretty large calves and I need these to go tighter than what the velcro will allow. But overall it's a good pad for the price.

Comments: Very basic but effective. The strap is ok but you'll need tape to keep these in place. If you're playing at a recreational level these shin guards will do fine and save you some money.
