shinpads
Soccer leg protection
Shinpads are protective guards worn on the front of the lower legs, primarily in sports like soccer and field hockey where kicks and stick strikes threaten the shins.
They slip inside socks or strap on directly: Make sure your shinpads are secure before kickoff.
Also spelled as two words or hyphenated: shin pads, shin-pads.
