Product Description: Top quality shin instep pads made for serious martial artists. These are not made of flat pieces of foam cut to shape, they are actually molded high-density foam shaped to fit around your shin and the top foot. They close on the shin with two heavy-duty velcro straps and a fixed heavy elastic wrap under the arch of the foot.
The shin straps are wide for a comfortable, snug fit. This keeps them in place so they don't slide around on your leg.
The outside of these pads are made of high quality artificial leather (similar to that used on the sides of "leather" car seats). The inside surface is lined with 100% nylon.
While not especially heavy (about 7 oz or 8 oz each), they are intended for intermediate or advanced martial artists. Cheaper pads are available and would be fine for the beginner, but these are "top tier" pads for your shins and feet. They are intended for long-term, heavy duty usage.
For sizing, we recommend you use your (men's) t-shirt size as a guide. That generally works pretty well unless you're at one end of the bell curve or the other (on the thin or heavy side). Since they are elastic straps, they do accommodate a range of sizes/diameters. If you think you're "between sizes", go with the larger size - we don't want you to cut the blood off to your feet or anything.
