shin guards
Soccer leg protection
Shin guards are protective pads worn over the shins, primarily in sports like soccer, field hockey, and ice hockey where kicks and impacts to the lower leg are common.
They typically slip inside socks or strap on over them: Make sure your shin guards are in place before the match.
