How do I choose the correct size for the Guard Lock Sleeve?

How often should I wash my Guard Lock Sleeves?

Will these sleeves work with any brand of shin guards?
Yes, the flexible and stretchy nature of the Nike Guard Lock Sleeve makes it compatible with most standard soccer shin guards from various brands.
Troubleshooting
Shin guard still slips or moves within the sleeve.
Ensure the sleeve is properly sized for your leg and shin guard. A sleeve that is too loose will not provide adequate grip. Also, verify that the textured PU lining is directly in contact with the shin guard to maximize its locking effect. Sometimes, adjusting the position of the shin guard or the sleeve slightly can improve stability.
Sleeve feels uncomfortable or too tight.
Check that you have the correct size. If it's too tight, it can restrict circulation or cause discomfort. Ensure there are no wrinkles or bunching of the sleeve material under your sportswear. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or adjusting your shin guard placement.
Sleeve loses its grip over time.
Proper care is essential. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. High heat drying or using fabric softeners can degrade the PU grip material and elasticity of the nylon. Air drying is often best to preserve the sleeve's features.
Sleeve tears or wears out quickly.
While made from durable nylon, excessive friction, snagging, or improper storage can lead to premature wear. Inspect the sleeve regularly for signs of damage and replace it if integrity is compromised to ensure optimal performance and safety.
