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.

"Great protection, right price." 2009-09-09By G. Lamb
These pads are great. They are very light and not bulky, unlike some others I've used. They are easy to put on and they stay on where you put them after you strap them up. Even though they feel flimsy, they offer great protecion for the top of your feet/ankles (which is where I've seen the most injuries occur during martial arts free sparring) as well as the shins. Overall I give these a 5/5 for protection, comfort, and price.
"the best shin pads for the money" 2009-09-03
By Fernando J. Miranda (miami, fl)
i got these shin pads aprox 3 weeks ago. i've been using them 3 times a week for kickboxing and they are great. really easy to get in and out of them, they dont move at all when kicking and taking kicks, protects your shins like a charm, and without the ridiculous price of other brand name shin pads. if you are new or experienced on martial arts, and you are looking for shin pads this is the way to go.

They are the very first shin instep pads i've ever bought and they're a great purchase. I use them for Muay Thai and wrestling and they are very comfortable and are a great fit.
I have them both in red and black and i have told my training partners about how awesome they are. Great product at an even greater price.
"Great Gear To Have!" 2008-10-07
By James Smith
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!
