Product Description:
Nice quality shin instep pads made primarily for martial artists. These are definitely a step up from the flat pieces of foam cut to shape. They close on the shin with two velcro straps and fixed elastic wraps under the arch of the foot and behind the ankle. Toe straps (if you want to use them) work for either foot -so there's no 'left' or 'right' pad.
The shin straps are wide for a comfortable, snug fit. This keeps them in place so they don't slide around on your leg.
The outside of these pads are made of high quality artificial (PU) leather (similar to that used on the sides of 'leather' car seats).
For sizing, we recommend you use your (men's) t-shirt size as a guide. That generally works pretty well unless you're at one end of the bell curve or the other (on the thin or heavy side). Since they are elastic, they do accommodate a range of sizes/diameters.

Rating: - Great Gear To Have!
Being a Marine in Iraq, we choose to spend our little free time wisely. Our detachment has been trying to further our Marine Corps Martial Arts training, so that we are more effective against our enemy combatants. The Shock Wave Shin Pads have been an extremely awesome and effective tool for us to use! We get to use the force that is needed in applying our techniques without injuring any of our Marines, so that we are still effective on the battle field. This is a great product to get! I will definitely be ordering more gear from this supplier!

These pads are all I hoped for. They fit very well, they're easy to put on and take off, and though only time will tell, they seem durable. I'm replacing some bootie style sparring pads with these. I like these a lot better because they cover the shins too. They don't shift around and they leave most of the bottom of your feet un-covered for good traction. The foam padding is very dense and provides good protection.
