Big or small shin pads - which shin pads should you choose? In today's video, JayMike and Joltter discuss which size you should choose on your new shin pads. Should they be big or or small, and how you should you protect yourself when playing football? Choosing shin pads can be a difficult task, and looking at professional football players like Toni Kroos from Real Madrid and Xherdan Shaqiri from Liverpool, some professional football players use very small and almost non-existent shin pads. On the other hand, stars such as Eden Hazard and Cristiano Ronaldo both wear very big and protective shin pads, which means that they are more protected when they go into tackles. So if you also want to get the right shin pads - no matter if you like big shin pads or small shin pads, we will help you in today's video as JayMike and Joltter discuss which size shin pads you should go for.

*WHAT SHIN PADS ARE THE BEST AND WHY?* We wanna hear your thoughts in the comments! 🔥🔥🔥

Shin pads of my youth were massive, with ankle cushions, but oddly they seemed a lot more comfortable, these days on the street courts or in coaching arenas I don't require them. Having said that I'd go with something that covered a good proportion of my shin

I like shinpads with no ankle protection. The concept is so stupid and it will not allow you to play freely football. Your controls will get worse.

My take on shin pads - don't judge your shin pad choice off what the pros do!! Assistant referees with earpieces, VAR, 20 cameras filming the game in slow motion with retrospective bans available has totally cleaned up professional football and "leg breaker" tackles are almost a thing of the past.
None of the above can be said for Sunday League though. Still some madmen going around flying in for stupid dangerous tackles, so when they fly in for you, you want to be protected.

I’m a small/light shin guard guy, but it’s because it’s more comfortable, the touch is better (sometimes it hits the bottom edge of the shin guard which is so annoying), and if you really think about it, unless you have cinder blocks for shin guards, they won’t protect you from and super serious injuries. They mainly are for protection against minor cuts and bruises but it won’t make the difference between a broken leg or not.

I used to wear the smallest shin pad as I could because I trained will the Nike training socks and never wore shin pads because I felt more free without them. However, last season I went into a 50 50 when the other guy came sliding in but I touched the ball first and touched it past him and then instdad of him sliding into the ball, his studs went into my leg and broke my leg (btw his studs were showing and was a very high tackle and was a red card tackle). This then made me miss 6/7 months of football and I'm still trying to get back to my old self. Afted breaking my leg, I do feel like I'm not the same as before and get pains during the game on the leg where I broke it. So when I play football games I do now wear a pretty good size shin pads to cover my legs but in training I don't wear shin pads. After breaking my leg, it's definitely important to wear shin pads because I used to believe that I was never gonna be that guy to break a leg until it happened last season.

I use carbon fiber with storelli leg guards. As a keeper I value a lot of protection in game. My testimony on it is a tackle I had where the opponent and I had a tough tackle and he was carted off field, and it broke my carbon fiber shin guard. Which was replaced for free because of a lifetime warranty🔥🔥

The Wilson shin guards are really good, I had them for three year and still use them. I have never felt any pain from getting kicked in the shins since I started wearing them. They are light and have straps, but you can also slide them in if you want and they feel really comfortable either way.

I think it depends on how you feel while wearing them. Like if you can move around the pitch comfortably wearing large shin pads then go for them. Obviously you have to consider your physical abilities. If you are lean and thin like me you should go for medium size at least. These are just my opinion. Best content as always.

I like to wear my G-Form shin pads for game as I’m a defender and it’s a must. But for training I enjoy not wearing any shin pads because we don’t try to kill each other in training
