Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Identify Left and Right: Due to the anatomical design, ensure you are putting the correct shinguard on the corresponding leg (left shinguard on left leg, right on right). Look for any subtle markings or the natural curve of the guard.
- Position the Loop: Slide your foot through the integrated loop so it sits comfortably under your arch, ensuring the ankle guard covers your ankle bone.
- Align Shinguard: Position the main shin plate over the center of your shin, ensuring it covers from just below your knee to above your ankle.
- Secure the Strap: Fasten the strap securely around your calf. Adjust the tension so it is snug but not uncomfortably tight, providing a firm hold without restricting circulation.
- Wear Socks: Pull your athletic socks over the shinguards to further secure them in place.
Compatibility
These shinguards are designed to be worn with most athletic socks and sports attire. They are suitable for various contact sports where shin and ankle protection is essential, such as soccer or field hockey.
Care Instructions
To maintain the durability and protective qualities of your Sondico Ankle Shinguards, follow these care guidelines carefully:
- Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub soiled areas with your hands or a soft brush.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is rinsed away.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can degrade the materials.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the material composition and protective elements.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can weaken the fabric and protective padding.
- Store Properly: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
