shin pads
Lower leg protectors
Shin pads are protective guards worn over the shins, primarily in sports like soccer and field hockey where kicks to the lower leg are common.
They slip inside socks or strap on, absorbing impact from cleats, sticks, or balls: Make sure your shin pads are in place before the match.
