FAQs

How do I measure for the correct size shinguards?

Measure the length of the shin from the ankle to the bottom of the kneecap. Use the Grays Hockey size chart to determine the appropriate size.

Can I wash the shinguards?

Wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. Do not submerge them in water or use harsh chemicals.

How often should I replace the shinguards?

Replace the shinguards when they show signs of significant wear and tear, or if the padding is compressed or damaged, compromising their protective capabilities.

Are these shinguards suitable for adult players?

These shinguards are designed for young club or school players. Adult players may require different models for higher levels of play.

What kind of protection do the ankle disks provide?

The ankle disks offer extra protection against impacts, especially during scrums and when blocking shots.

How do I ensure a good fit?

Make sure the shinguard covers the shin fully and the straps are snug but not too tight. The stirrups should be positioned correctly under the feet.

Where can I purchase replacement straps?

Contact the Grays Hockey customer service or check with your local hockey equipment retailer to inquire about replacement straps.

Troubleshooting

Shinguards are too loose and slip during play.

Check the fit and tighten the straps. Ensure the stirrups are positioned correctly under the feet. Consider trying a smaller size if the current size does not fit snugly.

Shinguards feel uncomfortable or cause chafing.

Ensure the shinguards are not too tight. Check for any rough edges or seams inside the shinguards and consider using a thin layer of tape or a sock liner for added comfort.

Straps are not holding the shinguards in place.

Check the straps for damage. Replace any worn or broken straps. Adjust the straps to ensure a secure fit.

The foam padding is compressed or damaged.

Inspect the padding for damage and consider replacing the shinguards if the protection is compromised. Clean the foam padding regularly with a damp cloth.
