FAQs
Are these shinpads suitable for all ages?
These are designed for general football use, but ensure you select the appropriate size based on the player's shin length to ensure proper coverage.
Can I remove the ankle guard?
No, the ankle guard is permanently integrated into the design of the adidas Messi Match Shinpads.
How should I clean them?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never use harsh chemicals or a washing machine.
What is the benefit of the EVA backing?
The EVA backing acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the leg against the hard shell and impact forces.
Are these made from recycled materials?
Yes, they are made in part with recycled materials as part of adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Shinpads slipping during play
Ensure the straps are tightened securely and consider using shin guard sleeves or professional-grade sock tape to keep them firmly in position.
Irritation around the ankle guard
Wear performance moisture-wicking socks underneath the guards to reduce friction and improve overall comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, position the hard shell directly against your shin bone, ensuring the ankle guard cup aligns with the joint. Secure the attachment straps firmly so the pads do not shift during movement.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash with mild soap and cold water after every use to prevent odor buildup.
- Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the EVA foam and structural integrity of the shell.
- Air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
- Check for cracks in the plastic shell after extremely heavy impacts to ensure the structural integrity remains intact.
