Booster Shin Guards Kids – Pink/Black

In short: The Booster shin guards in pink/black are specially designed for children who practise kickboxing, Muay Thai or other stand-up combat sports. These shin guards offer protection for the shin, ankle and foot thanks to the double velcro fastening and synthetic leather finish.

These shin guards are intended for children who need protection during training and sparring. They are available in sizes XS and S, making them suitable for young fighters. The shin guards are ideal if you're looking for affordable and complete protection. If you're looking for shin guards for competitions or have a teenager or adult, models in larger sizes or with thinner padding would be more suitable.

Difference from other children's shin guards

The main difference between these Booster shin guards and other children's models is the extra protection. Whereas basic shin guards only protect the shin, this model also features padding on the foot and ankle. This makes them more suitable for sparring where low kicks and foot techniques are also practised. Models without foot protection are lighter and cheaper, but offer less coverage. For children who are just starting kickboxing or Muay Thai and want full protection, this model is a good choice.

How to choose the right size?

The size of shin guards is determined by the length of your child's shin bone, not by age or shoe size. Measure the distance from just below the knee to the ankle in centimetres and compare this with the size chart on the product page. The shin guard should cover the entire shin bone without pressing into the knee crease. After delivery, check that the velcro fastenings close properly without pinching and that the foot protection fits comfortably. Children grow quickly, so measure again if in doubt before you order.

Frequently asked questions

What age are these shin guards suitable for?

The Booster shin guards in sizes XS and S are designed for children, but the correct size depends on the length of the shin bone, not age. Measure the distance from just below the knee to the ankle and compare it with the size chart. Usually XS and S fit children aged approximately 4 to 10 years, but individual body composition can vary.

Can you spar with these shin guards?

Yes, these shin guards are suitable for sparring during training. They have padding on the shin, ankle and foot, which provides protection during contact exercises. For official competitions, other requirements may apply, depending on the federation and age category. Check with your trainer whether the shin guards meet the competition rules of your organisation.

Do these shin guards run small or large?

Size experience varies from child to child. Some users find them small, others find them large. That's why it's important to measure your child's shin bone length and compare it with the size chart. Make sure you measure the length of the leg, not the length of the shin guard itself. Try on the shin guards after delivery with combat sports socks to check the fit.

How do you fasten these shin guards properly?

The Booster shin guards have a double velcro fastening. Place the shin guard with the foot protection over your foot so that the padding lies on your shin. First wrap the lower velcro strap tightly around your ankle, then wrap the upper strap around your calf. Make sure the shin guard fits snugly without restricting circulation. The shin guard should not shift during movement.

Can I use these shin guards for other combat sports?

Yes, these shin guards are suitable for kickboxing, Muay Thai, K-1 and other stand-up combat sports where you work with your shins and feet. For taekwondo or karate, different models are often used that are specifically approved for competitions. For MMA training they can also be used, but in the cage thinner models are usually standard. Ask your trainer which type suits your sport.
