Product Information
Full details
Designed for field hockey players seeking reliable protection, these adidas Hockey Shinguards offer a robust defense against impacts during intense matches. The core benefit of this gear is the high-impact TPU shield, which effectively guards the lower leg against stray sticks and balls. While these guards provide excellent structural security, users should note that the shell's rigid construction requires precise positioning to ensure maximum comfort during high-intensity movement.

FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the length of your shin from the bottom of the knee to the top of your ankle. Use the manufacturer's size chart to match your measurement to the X-Small, Small, or Medium options.
Are these guards suitable for ice hockey?
No, these are specifically engineered for field hockey. They do not provide the level of wrap-around coverage or high-impact rating required for ice hockey.
Can I put the TPU shell in the washing machine?
No, only the removable interior lining should be machine washed. Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth.
Does this product include straps?
This model is designed to be held in place by your sports socks and does not come with integrated straps.
How often should I replace my shinguards?
Inspect your guards for cracks in the TPU shell after every season. If the shell is cracked, it can no longer disperse impact energy effectively and should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Shinguard sliding down during play
Ensure you are wearing proper performance hockey socks and consider using clear shin guard tape to secure the top and bottom of the guard.
Interior lining smells after heavy use
Remove the lining and wash it using a laundry bag, or hand-wash with an antimicrobial sports detergent and air-dry completely.
Shell feels uncomfortable against the shin
Check if the internal padding is positioned correctly within the shell or consider wearing a thin base-layer sleeve underneath for added comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best setup, align the center of the TPU shell with the ridge of your shin bone. Ensure your socks are pulled taut over the guards to prevent any downward sliding during play. For care, remove the interior lining after every use to allow the sweat to evaporate, preventing odor buildup. The liners should be washed regularly in a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air-dried to maintain the integrity of the cushioning material. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the outer TPU shell, as this can degrade the protective finish.
