Product Information
Full details
The Puma King Sleeve Shinpads are designed for adult football players seeking a balance between high-impact protection and a streamlined, ergonomic fit. These shinguards utilize a durable hard shell paired with a soft EVA backing to absorb significant forces during tackles, making them an ideal choice for competitive match play. While the included sleeve system effectively secures the pads for a distraction-free experience, players should be aware that the low-profile design is focused more on mobility than maximum-coverage protection.

FAQs
Are these shinguards suitable for professional matches?
Yes, their ergonomic design and impact-absorbing materials meet the performance requirements for high-level competitive football.
Can I wash the hard shell in the washing machine?
No, you should only hand wash or wipe the hard shell with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the EVA foam backing.
Do these provide ankle protection?
No, this model features a streamlined, low-profile design that does not include integrated ankle guards.
How do I know which size to pick?
Choose based on your leg length. The pad should ideally cover the majority of the shin without touching the knee joint or the ankle bone.
What is the benefit of the EVA backing?
The EVA backing acts as a shock absorber, dispersing the force of impacts and providing a comfortable, cushioned fit against your skin.
Troubleshooting
Shinguards sliding during play
Ensure the sleeve is the correct size for your leg and that the pad is centered correctly against the shin bone before play starts.
Foam backing starting to peel
Avoid leaving the pads in extreme heat or direct sunlight for extended periods. Clean only with a damp cloth.
Sleeves losing elasticity
Always air dry the sleeves after washing. Do not use a tumble dryer as it destroys the spandex fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Puma King Sleeve Shinpads remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Slide the compression sleeve onto your leg, ensuring the logo faces outward. Place the hard shell inside the sleeve pocket or directly against the shin, centered for maximum protection.
- Compatibility: These are compatible with all standard football socks. They are best worn against the skin or a thin base layer to prevent slippage.
- Care: After use, remove the shinguards from the sleeves. Hand wash the sleeves in cool water with mild detergent and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. Wipe the hard shells with a damp cloth; do not submerge them in hot water or place them in a washing machine, as high heat can degrade the EVA foam backing.
