Storelli BodyShield Leg Guards, Premium Compression Shin Guard Sleeves for Soccer Players, UV-Resistant, Unisex, 1 Pair

My 11 year old loves them and I’m finally pleased his ankles are protected. They fit perfectly and stay in place.

I bought these for my average height/weight 8 yr old son (size small) and 10 yr old daughter (size medium) to replace their worn out shin guards with the velcro straps under the knee and stinky strap under the foot. They loved them immediately and said were soooo much more comfortable, my daughter said "they feel like socks"! My son declared them 'slippery cozy' and 'smooth' and the best Christmas gift of the day (?!!) I immediately gave away all of their old gear and bought them more Storelli leg guards to keep up with how often they'll be using them. They both play "club" soccer 4x-6x/week and I wash them and line dry them every time they play because they get sweaty like a sock. Comfort: (1) These give them some extra compression for good blood flow up from their legs (2) this summer I expect they will be able to just wear ankle socks with them to avoid doubling up with the usual knee high soccer socks and getting too many layers on their legs in the heat. (3) these put a layer of fabric between the skin and the hard shin guard, which helps minimize stink and skin rash problems (we've had kids on the team not be able to play for a few weeks due to irritation/rashes on their shins from their guards), and (4) my kids play a lot of soccer, both play defense, and as they get older, the games get rougher, they love the extra protection of this product. I love their "ease of use" because (1) I am so tired of the old velcro-strapped shin guards which constantly snagged my kids socks as well as ruined more than a few team jerseys in their bag, (2) since they are a smooth fabric and the hard part (the actual shin guard, purchased separately) slips inside the pocket, my kids have an easier time pulling on their soccer socks over the guards - again no more snagging straps or edges to get caught on and I don't have to help my youngest, who got really frustrated trying to get on his soccer socks over his old-style guards. I only wish I'd started with this product when my kids first started playing U6. It is a much better design, well worth the price if your kids love to play.

My 9-year-old daughter plays club soccer and she *loves* these. She feels confident and safe. She had outgrown her previous generic full ankle shin guards (the kind you'd buy at any big box store), plus they had gotten pretty stinky. I love that we can wash these. The fit seems OK, although at 4' 4" (when we bought them) I regret ordering the Small instead of the Medium for her. She also has larger feet, and so the ankle area seems to be the hardest part of these to get on. At her age, there is still a lot of stepping on / kicking in the ankles, and so the padding on the ankles was still a must for me. We're two seasons in and they've held up splendidly. I'm certain we'll outgrow them before they break down. I would recommend going a size up if you're within an inch or two of their size chart, especially since it seems my daughter will have long outgrown these before they wear out. I've been happy enough with these to consider trying their goalkeeper gear.

This is my 3rd paid of Storelli Leg Sleeves, my other 2 are the shorter calf-length version, which doesn't includes the ankle protection. I play indoor and outdoor soccer, on turf and grass, so I feel I’ve put them through a fair amount of wear. The fabric Storelli uses for these is great! My socks have ripped/torn from sliding, yet these hold up against all the abrasion, and so far are still in very good shape - no holes or tears as of yet (I would estimate having played ~25 games with these). The sleeve is just tight enough to hold the shin guard in place, but not too tight as to cut off circulation (assuming you purchased the correct size sleeve). Normally I tape above and below the shin guards to hold them in place, but with these sleeves, I do not need to use tape. The top of the sleeves are elastic, and have additional rubberized textured grips on the inside to keep them in place - they definitely work! Taking them off is as easy as rolling the sleeve from the top down; don’t try pulling from the bottom...the rubberized inner grip will grip your skin, and you might tear the stitching. As for the additional padding on the ankle and outside rear of the calf, it’s fairly thin, but durable and protective. Please don’t think that padding is as protective as a shin guard, it is not; however, it absolutely helps your calf from a mildly grazing kick, or rough ground that might typically give you a turf burn. Washing - just throw them in the washing machine..super easy! Storelli advises not to dry them in a dryer (I’ve followed these instructions, so I cannot say whether or not these will hold up in a dryer). Do I recommend these? Absolutely Yes! Especially for younger kids who are playing competitively.

LegGuard helps provide another layer protection without sacrificing movement. Put on similarly as the older-style full shin guards, it is thin in a majority of the area but does provide extra padding where a player would be most vulnerable (seen from the photo). The slickness of the guard allows some protection from sliding burns on the plastic field turf. As a goalkeeper, I'd prefer something more substantial as I do get burns in the area just below the knee as the sleeve will slide down slightly. Overall though, it gives me added confidence and protection while adding a slight compression sleeve feel. I've used it for about 6 games as a keeper. Recommended for players who tend to slide or get into tussles where one might get kicked in the lower leg.

So I have to give a product review this because it made my son feel safe mentally and helped him play the game without worrying about getting his in the legs as he was prior to purchasing this product. I was a bit nervous and skeptical about it with the price tag for what seems like nothing. Again, my son said they felt comfortable and it didn't feel like it was anything additional on his legs. He used these for Football and Futbol. He is the RB for his football team and after numerous games they started targeting his legs as well as some played dirty trying to twist his ankle after the play was dead, helmet to shins etc. This is a 10u team or peewee level. After he got hurt, we looked for ways to boost his confidence by getting him protection at those areas (forearms and shin to ankle area). This fit the bill and after suiting up and getting through the first 2 games with it on. It was no longer an issue. He was comfortable and mentioned several times when getting hit in those areas.. he hardly felt the blow. Had him kick off kids from his ankles if they were holding onto him longer than supposed to so that got fixed quickly. Again, product was phenomenal and boosted my sons confidence. Great product and will buy again in the future as needed.

The Daughter plays club soccer and she loves them. She uses Adidas Predator plates. They fit in the pocket perfect and don’t slide around. The padding provides great protection but not bulky enough to get in the way. I would recommend using ankle socks and leg sleeves for comfort. Apposed to traditional soccer socks. She has played six games and practice four days a week, and they still look brand new. Great quality. Will definitely buy again when she out grows them

I bought these at least a couple of years ago and they have worked excellet. Never I had such a great experience dealing with shinguards, I have played soccer since I can remember and will never buy any other sort of shin guards. Believe me, I've tried them all and these are the most comfortable, lightweight, easy to put on and most important, they do keep the shinguard in it's right place at all times, even after being hit on the shin!!! I have at least used them in 60 to 70 competitive games (plus countless of practice 6-6 games, both outdoors and indorrs) and there is no damage to them. I do wash them on a washer machine and I have tried to avoid putting them in the dryer machine (but have done so several times by mistake) and they're still in perfect condition after 2 years of use. Whenever they go, I will buy exactly the same set again, worth the money.

As described. Size chart Correct son loves them

Excelente producto y calidad, ajusta perfectamente, como si no trajeras nada, brinda excelente seguridad y confort al jugar

calza alla perfezione... ottimo per chi pratica sport anche a livello semi professionistico. peccato che il parastinco non è compreso nella confezione visto il costo e nei dettagli non è menzionato.

Mon premier avis jamais posté ! Je cherchais une protection efficace pour protéger l’extérieur du mollet et la malléole interne après une importante chirurgie. Le produit est en tout point parfait !

Bought these for my 11 year old daughter, who plays rep soccer. She’s fairly tall for her age (5’2”) but slim. Her old ankle shin guards didn’t even come half way up her legs anymore. We bought new slip in shin guards (Adidas X Pro) and the Men’s medium offered the best coverage without being bulky but the sleeves they come with would’ve fit me! She also liked having some protection around her ankle area so we thought we fixed these a try. These are amazing! The Youth Large was a perfect fit for her. Thinking of going to the ones without ankle padding when she outgrows these...
