- Big or small shin pads - which shin pads should you choose? In today's video, JayMike and Joltter discuss which size you should choose on your new shin pads. Should they be big or or small, and how you should you protect yourself when playing football? Choosing shin pads can be a difficult task, and looking at professional football players like Toni Kroos from Real Madrid and Xherdan Shaqiri from Liverpool, some professional football players use very small and almost non-existent shin pads. On the other hand, stars such as Eden Hazard and Cristiano Ronaldo both wear very big and protective shin pads, which means that they are more protected when they go into tackles. So if you also want to get the right shin pads - no matter if you like big shin pads or small shin pads, we will help you in today's video as JayMike and Joltter discuss which size shin pads you should go for.

*WHAT SHIN PADS ARE THE BEST AND WHY?* We wanna hear your thoughts in the comments! 🔥🔥🔥
Defenitely not those with ankle protection. They make it more difficult to enter your shoe and they will downgrade your level of play
Hi love this channel. Best content for football. Respect guys 😀
I am also pro "tection" 😂...But smaller ones are better for me.
Pls give me 1 boot
They are good for protection big one provide comfart
I use the old Nokia phone as my shin pads
L E G E N D
LOL
RIP your shins.
Bro that would hurt u as well

Shin pads of my youth were massive, with ankle cushions, but oddly they seemed a lot more comfortable, these days on the street courts or in coaching arenas I don't require them. Having said that I'd go with something that covered a good proportion of my shin

I like shinpads with no ankle protection. The concept is so stupid and it will not allow you to play freely football. Your controls will get worse.
Blij you’re right, it also feels so good when someone steps on your ankle and you can’t play anymore. Hasn’t it happened to you before?
banter
Your most likley to get hit in shins and up then ur ankle and when u play the sport you should know what ur putting urself up too🤷🏻♂️
an crva Nah I'm defensive midfielder so it's me who breaks ankles
Blij sam😤✔
My take on shin pads - don't judge your shin pad choice off what the pros do!! Assistant referees with earpieces, VAR, 20 cameras filming the game in slow motion with retrospective bans available has totally cleaned up professional football and "leg breaker" tackles are almost a thing of the past.
None of the above can be said for Sunday League though. Still some madmen going around flying in for stupid dangerous tackles, so when they fly in for you, you want to be protected.
.
agree with u
word
Not only that, but the pro defenders have more control of their body than the 16 stone centre back playing Sunday League.
I used to wear the smallest shin pad as I could because I trained will the Nike training socks and never wore shin pads because I felt more free without them. However, last season I went into a 50 50 when the other guy came sliding in but I touched the ball first and touched it past him and then instdad of him sliding into the ball , his studs went into my leg and broke my leg (btw his studs were showing and was a very high tackle and was a red card tackle). This then made me miss 6/7 months of football and I'm still trying to get back to my old self. Afted breaking my leg, I do feel like I'm not the same as before and get pains during the game on the leg where I broke it. So when I play football games I do now wear a pretty good size shin pads to cover my legs but in training I don't wear shin pads. After breaking my leg, it's definitely important to wear shin pads because I used to believe that I was never gonna be that guy to break a leg until it happened last season.
Wreqeh sorry to hear about ur leg man I’ve torn my acl twice blew but I sorta disagree with u on shin pads because you can wear the most protective shin pads out there but if the guy did/does go studs up in to ur leg the shin pads aren’t going to protect u from breaking a leg
I suffered a broken tibia several years ago and it is the most excruciating pain you can imagine. A couple of weeks ago-- I did not wear shin guards-- I got kicked on the leg twice, one kick left an egg-sized lump in the middle of the leg and the other kick left a big hematoma just above the ankle, that eventually travelled down to the lower part of my foot and caused swelling of the leg for a few days. Yep, I'm all for shin pads, the bigger, the better
@@renolausier6005 just because a bad thing can still happen doesnt mean it wont prevent injuries less severe than a broken leg, but still injured.
I’m a small/light shin guard guy, but it’s because it’s more comfortable, the touch is better (sometimes it hits the bottom edge of the shin guard which is so annoying), and if you really think about it, unless you have cinder blocks for shin guards, they won’t protect you from and super serious injuries. They mainly are for protection against minor cuts and bruises but it won’t make the difference between a broken leg or not.
You have not gotten a direct hit on your leg bone then yet my friend. If you feel your leg there is no protection what so ever to the leg bone.
I mean if you get sturdy shin pads, they will actually distribute the impact rather than have it in the same concentrated area so it will theoretically protect you from the cusp between broken or not
*BIG* or *SMALL?*

Jomarley Duncan rightly said. 👍
Look up hurling videos. No shin pads in that
Imagine wearing hockey shin pads for football haha, they cover practically your whole shin.
Sebastien Hebert I'm talking about field hock
My friend did exactly that a couple of weeks ago
I use carbon fiber with storelli leg guards. As a keeper I value a lot of protection in game. My testimony on it is a tackle I had where the opponent and I had a tough tackle and he was carted off field, and it broke my carbon fiber shin guard. Which was replaced for free because of a lifetime warranty🔥🔥
I'm pro-tection and you are no-tection...

The Wilson shin guards are really good, I had them for three year and still use them. I have never felt any pain from getting kicked in the shins since I started wearing them. They are light and have straps, but you can also slide them in if you want and they feel really comfortable either way.
I agree! I have had them for 2 years now!
I think it depends on how you feel while wearing them. Like if you can move around the pitch comfortably wearing large shin pads then go for them. Obviously you have to consider your physical abilities. If you are lean and thin like me you should go for medium size at least. These are just my opinion. Best content as always.
I feel like it depends wether u care more about protection or comfort 🤔
Im more like the Jolter guy...
Fuck off

deepa joshi U mad bro?
@@deepajoshi7835 nigga fuck off
What was the point of that Sierra...
I like to wear my G-Form shin pads for game as I’m a defender and it’s a must. But for training I enjoy not wearing any shin pads because we don’t try to kill each other in training
I usually go for medium (like the mercurial lite) and decently high on my feet so theyre out of the way but I can go home without my legs messed up 😂
I wear shin guards with ankle protection just because it stabalizes my ankle cuz I tend to bend over my ankles a lot while playing.
Is there any iron pad available naymar need ones
*neymar
Manisha Singh ohh
😂😂
rikas kamil you need also bmp
Nah he needs an Oscar
It was really a good discussion between you two .I wear ankle shimpads 😂 cuz l fell protected.
i like to protect the ball with my leg, so I need better protection, bigger the better for my type of player

I been kicked so many times and injured I learned my lesson wear shin pads always you never know when someone gonna try to hurt you
You are the best Unisport thank you
Isaiah Tovar subscribe thanks
Team small shin pads right here, for 2 reasons. First: big propper pads won't make a difference when it comes to real inrjuies, they only protect you from bruises etc. Second: they reduce the sensation of free movement and over all makes you feel a bit "clumsy"
I use a medium sized C6 Agility shinguard and I love them so much
Nice video and according to me unisport is the only channel which covers every area of football including shin pads, sock and many others😊😊
I would say for younger players, maybe even up to the age of 18 shin guards should always be worn, and they should be the most protective possible.This is because players bodies are still developing and are more susceptible to serious injury that could really screw up their physical development. Once they're 18 sure go do whatever you want you're an adult.
I agree that big shin pads are not so light and don't feel so free but small shin pads like those kroos was wearing aren't so comfortable don't offer this pure secure fit that makes you feel premium . Also big shin pads are more protective and if you take the right size then it would be in my opinion the best option
The XS cheap Nike ones are the absolute best .
Shin pads are important every player for defenders attackers midfielders ang goalies too cuz every one has one ramos in team to break your leg also when shin pads gets hitted by ball u feel no pain
Thanks for the size guide Pro-tection and No-tection! I really wanted to get one but was confused on what size to get.
The best shin pads for me would be snug fitting so it can grip my leg when I play soccer
hey guys,
you might not read this but if you do, i’m very grateful for that. i have a good short story about the beautiful game. my father grew up poor and he always used to play football barefoot, he even cut out pieces of cardboard to make shin pads. now he moved to america and can afford these things and when i came in and first played football, he bought me some shin pads and somehow i HATED wearing them because they were so thick and bulky. i played many games where i made some shin pads out of cardboard and believe me when i tell you they are far more comfortable as if you were wearing nothing. but of course since i am in shitty america, i had to buy shin pads to play in or the refs wont allow me to. but i do prefer the “perfect” shin pad: not too big, not too small (but a bit on the smaller side) thin, and flexible, basically something that has that cardboard feel to it😂
it’s a weird coincidence that even tho he never told me about himself wearing cardboard shin pads until a couple of years ago, i always wore cardboard shin pads when i was young (of course i had to sneak them and replace the bulky shin pads when they weren’t looking since they don’t allow me to play in them)
i hope someone also played in cardboard shin pads😂
Alejandro Miranda bro shitty America? This is the country that gave your father a chance at raising a family, and the reason ur here right now so count your blessings. You are in the best country in the world.
Dude wdym shitty America. Without America you wouldn't have enough money to even play football.
The C6 are incredible...so much better than anything else out there.
People who like a tackle will want shin pads and ankle protectors, but people who want small shin pads don’t like a tackle and often dodge them.
Big shinguards are a must for me, as a goalkeeper i wanna feel protected and confident when coming off my line, ankle protection is a no go tho
Thank you Guys. You may also tell us how we can avoid Shin Bone Stress. I know it isn't your field but your suggestion may help us a lot.
I wear those Puma Evopower foam shin pads, size M. Love them!
What about shinpads with ankle protectors
This is very late comment but shinpads is a must especially if ur that type of guy who goes on 50 50s alot.
Im a gk, I played a game without shinpads on one day and went for 50 50 slide and broke my tibia and put me out from the game for 3 months.
That is very important lesson for me and from now on im wearing shinpads but also proper ones.
That protection joke deserves a like😂
i wear kids slide in shin guards, the old gold and silver mercurial ones. Same model since i was ten. Best ones by far

I don’t train with shin guards, but in matches when I need to wear them, I like guards that fit most of my shin, but not too far down because of the shin pad touch
BIG SHIN PADS are the best. I've always loved big shin pads because it feels more comfortable and it covers more area and I like it. Also it feels like a giant soft sock on your leg, well it depends on the type of shin pad but I like the big ones to my taste.
C6 Agility max. Pitty Unisport doesn't carry them anymore. Had to import them from the USA to Europe. Costly but worth it!
I was soo like a jolter but than after an injury I became such a big Jay Mike
Shin pads is a distraction for me aswell, i feel heavier, i feel like it's something in the way to what im used to everyday and practice because i dont use em. It's a mental thing, kinda like being stuck or held back it's kinda like a phobia to a degree. So ye i dont like shin pads and if i had the choice i would not use em at all. (Goalkeeper perspective here, i use super small aswell.)
Leg or shin breaks in soccer aren't really that common. Mostly its ankle and knee stuff..then again I don't play pro so..
That's because people wear shin pads
love the nike ones!
Enjoyed the video guys Interesting views and comments, based on the majority of comments I can’t help but think if they’re all relying on their shines and ankles to control a football ⚽️ then maybe that’s the issue they need to address rather than blaming the size and position of a shin pad?
Now that we know the best shin pads (C6), what is the best way to wear them locked in place? Tape? Sleeves?
The injury that happened to diego costa the same exact thing happened to me during a game luckily I scored
I personally hate shin pads because no matter with which ones I have, I feel bulky with them on my legs. So I often go for the smallest and lightest ones, like the Nike Mercurial Flylight in a small. To my surprise I actually enjoy wearing those shin pads since I litterally can not feel them at all.
Great Vid Unisport! Now I now what shin pads to wear!!! THANXXX!
First I like small shin pads
Vqrtex subacribe bro
I play hockey so I don’t get the big deal. You get used to the gear. Seeing as footballers like to lay on the ground and cry for 10 minutes anytime they get poked.
I use regular size not too big not too small and clear stretchy hockey shin pad tape and never had issues. I forget about them after warmup for sure
This video really help me a lot
im with jolter 100 percent on this one
I am a defender so I think I will choose big and protective
I am too I'm an central defender or an right-back I prefer playing as central defender but I'd go for medium but I use big and protective when we have to play against a dirty opponent aggressive playing against the rules and ref does nothing
Jay Mike we love you
I used to wear ones with the fixed ankle protection but it turned out they didn't manage to protect anything. So I ditched those because they were in the way 98% of the time
Wdym. My ankle got saved one time when some mad lad came flying in with raised sole against my ankle. Thank God for ankle protection
It’s basically like this: some players would prefer NO shin pads at all. Why? Because they protect their shins by avoiding tackles they anticipate the opponents tackle and MOVE out of the way. I was once that type of player a speedy winger who LOVED over zealous defenders jumping out of the way and leaving them swearing because they not only missed the ball but also me. And even if I did get a knock it wasn’t too bad because my weight was off that leg so back then I wore the smallest shin pads the ref would allow. (Shin guards were mandatory but no rule said how big they had to be) but... I then got older and slower and time after time I got whacked far more often as for going in to tackles IF your doing it correctly YOU should NOT be making foot to shin contact or even shin to shin you should not be hitting anything BUT BALL. I still hate big shin pads because the ball bounces off them oddly and I find they get in the way when trying to cushion a ball that may bounce up just as you try to trap it and you end up using your shin or lower leg to trap the ball without a shin pad or a smaller one I have no problem keeping soft control but with a big bulky shin pad the touch is off as you have less feeling. Kind of the same for boots some prefer boots with padding others want to feel the ball.
I wear nike j guards. For me they are the best ever created good breathing and foam feels nice. I wear the kid sizes so there really small. Best ever
I usually pick the bigger one, not the biggest ofc, at least i can feel safe whenever i got charge or slide. to be honest, i didn't find it annoying at all unless it flimsy and touch my ankles. i found the strap or tape is more annoying than shin pad
but if you dont want to use Shin Guards at all i recommended you guys to train Muay Thai.
Now i know which shin pads to buy guys thank you for your information
I agree with jolter not the shin pads that will make the difference ( I had an injury in my wrist 2.5 months ago )
I prefer playing the LW or RW and i like playing with small or no shin guards
I’m on the side for shin pads and I only recently decided that shin pads should be worn because a week ago I was playing and went shin to shin with a kid and the impact was so hard it broke my knee so I’m out for the season I cannot walk and now need surgery, make sure you wear your shin pads
Like this episode! Thanks
Nike J Guards. Paulinho wears them too
“I’m PRO-tection” 😂
I fold the insole from my trainers and tape them in place , does the job.
PRO-TECTION

NICE ONE JAY-MIKE
Do a Toni Kroos boot video
i got gform shin guards and they do the job nicely
Am I the only one wondering what sweater Jay is wearing, I low key want it
Hi and a good and helpful video.
Hahahaha i used to wear the old style with the ankle support until a couple yrs ago!!! Flylites all day now lol
Wow u guys got a great football boots collection
Not going to lie but I only wear shin pads for rules sake but they are practically used to stop scraches it would never stop a leg brake it may dampen the chances of it happening but I broke my leg with freeking shinpads the size of hockey pads and since I got smaller ones I never looked back
i'm one of those og's who wears them even with the ankles covered haha but i think i'm going to buy some smaller ones because it's really true they are distracting when shooting
The tiny shin guards are better because it doesn’t ruin your kick
they get in the wayy
they bigg
they small
but most importantly they protecc
If I had the money I'd wear the carbon fiber shin guards as I like the most amount of protection but without the bulk.
It's all about the position 😄
I have a pair og G-Form+'s and they are safe to say the best shinpads i have everytime had
Shaqieris shin pads is like the air pod case
Hey... Unisport can put a video about rules of football
i love adidas ghost shin pads they are strong light and protect me well
