Muay Thai MMA Kickboxing shin Guards, Elite Sports Instep Guard Sparring Protective Leg shin Kick Pads for Adults, Kids, Youth

I'm 5' 8" 182 lbs with average size calves and the s/m fit very good. They felt secure but not too tight. Did some round house kicks on the heavy bag and could feel through the pads a bit. There are other pads out there that give better protection but these are decent for their weight. I wish the padding extended another inch to cover all the way to the toes since you can sometimes feel it more on the exposed part. These fit under my Macho karate foot pads so when I want to kick extra hard I just double up and that offers enough protection. These are fairly easy to get on and off. I can see these could be used in grappling too without interfering since they fit close to the body and not bulky.Update: Been using for a couple of months at my MMA gym and they are decent for hitting pads and light sparring but I just got new Hayabusa Kanpeki grappling shins and the Hayabusa are far better. The Haybusa take a bit more time to get on and off but worth it. They have much better padding and fit even more securely. The Elite Sports are decent though for the price and something to get you buy until you can invest in better shin Guards.Update: after a while they seemed to get a little looser because I notice then shift a lot more to the side of my shin when kicking the banana bag. My shins have toughened up enough now that I don't use them on the bag anymore. Even my good Hayabusa shin guards will shift a little when kicking the bag hard. For sparring they work fine though.

I'm female and 5'4", and the fit for these is great. They fit like a comfy glove, don't shift around, and allow for easy movement. Unlike previous guards I've tried on, they don't cut in behind the knee or cause mobility issues around the ankle. They're adequate protection but still allow for some hardening. I'm just a Muay Thai rookie, and these pads are saving my skins from becoming giant bruises when kicking a bag or pads.

Seemed great for a while, but after about a month of using them twice a week the logo began to peel off and the stitxhing around the food pad and the top of the shins started to rip.

These shin pads are great. They have just enough padding so you can get your shins conditioned and ready for a fight. Other guards I’ve used are too thick and aren’t realistic when it comes to what absorbing a kick in an actual fight will feel like. You have to be very accurate with your shots, and be ready to check whatever comes back at you.

Great value for the money and very comfortable. I use them for muay thai and though they don't offer the most protection, they're great for sparring. They seem to be pretty well made and go on pretty easy, though a little harder when sweaty. If you're looking for heavy duty protection these aren't for you, more for actual fighting and sparring, very light and well put together.

I haven’t been practicing/studying Muay Thai very long, but I’ve tried a variety of shin pads (whatever was around around the gym), but these are by far my favorite. I was a little worried about the one-size-fits-all, sock style pads, but they are perfect. They fit great and don’t move around on me. They offer great protection while also being very comfortable. We switch gears quickly in class, so it’s great to have pads that can slip on and off so easily, but still get the job done. Amazing value for the price.

Good: easy to wear and take off.Bad: The foam in the shin pads keep slipping out of place. Also it does not provide much protection when checking round house kicks. You still get bruised even when wearing these.

Look good but protect ok. The ankles get killed sparring.
