StorelliBodyShield Leg Guards, Premium Compression Shin Guard Sleeves for Soccer Players, UV-Resistant, Unisex, 1 Pair

I bought these for my average height/weight 8 yr old son (size small) and 10 yr old daughter (size medium) to replace their worn out shin guards with the velcro straps under the knee and stinky strap under the foot. They loved them immediately and said were soooo much more comfortable, my daughter said "they feel like socks"! My son declared them 'slippery cozy' and 'smooth' and the best Christmas gift of the day (?!!) I immediately gave away all of their old gear and bought them more Storelli leg guards to keep up with how often they'll be using them. They both play "club" soccer 4x-6x/week and I wash them and line dry them every time they play because they get sweaty like a sock.Comfort: (1) These give them some extra compression for good blood flow up from their legs (2) this summer I expect they will be able to just wear ankle socks with them to avoid doubling up with the usual knee high soccer socks and getting too many layers on their legs in the heat. (3) these put a layer of fabric between the skin and the hard shin guard, which helps minimize stink and skin rash problems (we've had kids on the team not be able to play for a few weeks due to irritation/rashes on their shins from their guards), and (4) my kids play a lot of soccer, both play defense, and as they get older, the games get rougher, they love the extra protection of this product.I love their "ease of use" because (1) I am so tired of the old velcro-strapped shin guards which constantly snagged my kids socks as well as ruined more than a few team jerseys in their bag, (2) since they are a smooth fabric and the hard part (the actual shin guard, purchased separately) slips inside the pocket, my kids have an easier time pulling on their soccer socks over the guards - again no more snagging straps or edges to get caught on and I don't have to help my youngest, who got really frustrated trying to get on his soccer socks over his old-style guards.I only wish I'd started with this product when my kids first started playing U6. It is a much better design, well worth the price if your kids love to play.

This is my 3rd paid of Storelli Leg Sleeves, my other 2 are the shorter calf-length version, which doesn't includes the ankle protection.I play indoor and outdoor soccer, on turf and grass, so I feel I’ve put them through a fair amount of wear. The fabric Storelli uses for these is great! My socks have ripped/torn from sliding, yet these hold up against all the abrasion, and so far are still in very good shape - no holes or tears as of yet (I would estimate having played ~25 games with these).The sleeve is just tight enough to hold the shin guard in place, but not too tight as to cut off circulation (assuming you purchased the correct size sleeve). Normally I tape above and below the shin guards to hold them in place, but with these sleeves, I do not need to use tape.The top of the sleeves are elastic, and have additional rubberized textured grips on the inside to keep them in place - they definitely work!Taking them off is as easy as rolling the sleeve from the top down; don’t try pulling from the bottom...the rubberized inner grip will grip your skin, and you might tear the stitching.As for the additional padding on the ankle and outside rear of the calf, it’s fairly thin, but durable and protective. Please don’t think that padding is as protective as a shin guard, it is not; however, it absolutely helps your calf from a mildly grazing kick, or rough ground that might typically give you a turf burn.Washing - just throw them in the washing machine..super easy! Storelli advises not to dry them in a dryer (I’ve followed these instructions, so I cannot say whether or not these will hold up in a dryer).Do I recommend these? Absolutely Yes! Especially for younger kids who are playing competitively.

So I have to give a product review this because it made my son feel safe mentally and helped him play the game without worrying about getting his in the legs as he was prior to purchasing this product. I was a bit nervous and skeptical about it with the price tag for what seems like nothing.Again, my son said they felt comfortable and it didn't feel like it was anything additional on his legs. He used these for Football and Futbol. He is the RB for his football team and after numerous games they started targeting his legs as well as some played dirty trying to twist his ankle after the play was dead, helmet to shins etc. This is a 10u team or peewee level.After he got hurt, we looked for ways to boost his confidence by getting him protection at those areas (forearms and shin to ankle area). This fit the bill and after suiting up and getting through the first 2 games with it on. It was no longer an issue. He was comfortable and mentioned several times when getting hit in those areas.. he hardly felt the blow. Had him kick off kids from his ankles if they were holding onto him longer than supposed to so that got fixed quickly.Again, product was phenomenal and boosted my sons confidence. Great product and will buy again in the future as needed.

My goal keeper likes these so much we bought more pairs to rotate them. Her shin guards slide in nicely and they keep the guard from sliding sideways. They do get a bit uncomfortable in hot weather with socks over them but she still loves them. We wash in machine and line dry and they have lasted quite a while, minus the Storelli logo that has peeled off. The side padding helps, although it's sadly not going to stop a Striker's foot as well as a shin guard.

Fantastic product Best thing I have bought for shin pads ever. Love it.

Muy buen producto y calidad.

El niño está encantado.

Bought these for my 9 year old who loves them. They are not the cheapest when it comes to shin guard socks but the quality, extra protection / comfort make them worthwhile. Shin pads stay in exact place you need them, rather than dropping down or moving around the leg. Early days but I expect them to last well.

Bought these for my 11 year old daughter, who plays rep soccer. She’s fairly tall for her age (5’2”) but slim. Her old ankle shin guards didn’t even come half way up her legs anymore. We bought new slip in shin guards (Adidas X Pro) and the Men’s medium offered the best coverage without being bulky but the sleeves they come with would’ve fit me! She also liked having some protection around her ankle area so we thought we fixed these a try.These are amazing! The Youth Large was a perfect fit for her. Thinking of going to the ones without ankle padding when she outgrows these...
