FAQs

How do I know which is the left and right shin guard?

The shin guards are anatomically shaped. Typically, the curve will more closely match the natural contour of your left or right shin bone when worn.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Mercurial Hardshell Shinpads. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.

What are the main materials used?

The guard is made from 70% polypropylene and 30% EVA. The strap is made from 68% polyester, 21% rubber, and 11% nylon.

Are these suitable for professional play?

Yes, these shin guards are designed for competitive play and offer a high level of protection suitable for professional athletes.

How much impact can these absorb?

The combination of the durable hardshell and dense EVA foam cushioning is designed to absorb and dissipate significant impact forces encountered during soccer.

Do they come with straps?

The product description indicates straps are part of the material composition (68% polyester, 21% rubber, 11% nylon), suggesting they are integrated or provided for securing the guard.

Troubleshooting

Shin guards feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure you are using the correct left and right shin guards. Adjust their position within your sock for a better fit. If discomfort persists, consider wearing them with shin guard sleeves for added padding or try a short break-in period.

Shin guards slip down during play.

Ensure your socks are pulled up snugly. Use shin guard sleeves or athletic tape to help hold them in place. Make sure the guards are positioned correctly on the shin.

Hardshell appears to be separating from the foam.

Inspect the stitching. If the separation is minor, it may not affect performance. However, if significant, it could compromise protection and the product may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shin guards feature a left-right specific fit. Ensure you place the correct guard on each leg before securing them.

For optimal security, slide the shin guard into your sock, ensuring the curved part aligns with your shin bone, and adjust for a snug fit.
