How Long Should Shin Guards Be On Legs?

Question

i have boughten new shin guards for soccer, and the problem is, i measured my height and then got the size, i tried them on the other day, and they seem extremely small

they go from my ankles to mid shin?

is that right?

how big or long should they fit on legs?

Answer 1

The reasoned that they are so small they are probably a pro model and pro's shin guards are so small its like they are not wearing any. If you buy a amateur shin guard they will probably be bigger. personally I think that shin guards should be 3-4 inches from the knee.

Answer 2

a few inches below your knees  

Answer 3

Well, some shin guards have a height recommendation on the tag.  My shin guards go from two fingers above my ankle to about 3-4 inches below my knees.  If the shin guards are from ankle to mid shin, some people wear them higher up on the leg.

Answer 4

there isn't really a certain size they have to be. its whatever feels good for you. mid shin is quite small and depending on the ref he might ask you to wear bigger ones. i would return them and get ones that are about a hand away from your knee.  

Answer 5

Mid shin is enough. I would not worry. Mine are  about that size too
