Shin Guards with Ankle Shields

If you have the shin guards with a built-in ankle shield, pull the stretchy fabric of the lower part of these shin guards up over each foot, until the stirrup lies below the arch of the foot. Continue to pull on the fabric comprising the upper part of the shin guard, which contains an embedded plastic shield, so that the guard covers the front of the lower leg. Pull soccer socks over the shin guard and then put on your cleats. FIFA’s Laws of the Game require that you wear socks to completely cover either type of shin guard.
