Shin guards Errea for football

Why choose an Errea shin guard?

An Errea shin guard protects the most exposed area during a match by absorbing the impacts from tackles and opponent's movements. The brand designs rigid shells at the front, lined with internal foam that distributes pressure across the shin rather than concentrating it on a single point. This type of construction suits both beginners and players involved in regular competition, as long as the chosen size matches the leg's shape.

How to choose the right size for your Errea shin guard?

The size of a shin guard is primarily based on the player's height, which is indicated on the specifications of each model in centimetres or age range. A shin guard that is too short leaves part of the shin unprotected, while one that is too long can restrict ankle movement while running. If unsure between two sizes, it's usually better to opt for the larger size to avoid compressing the leg in a model that is too tight.

What fastenings for Errea shin guards?

Errea shin guards are held in place either by elastic straps that attach directly to the leg or by being slipped into a compression sock designed for this purpose. The choice mainly depends on the player's preferences: the straps provide adjustable and quick support, while the compression sock minimizes friction and keeps the shin guard in place during positional changes.

Frequently asked questions

Is an Errea shin guard suitable for young players?

Yes, Errea offers sizes suitable for children and teenagers, which should be chosen based on the height specified on the product page rather than age alone. Two children of the same age may need different sizes depending on their body shape.

Do I need to wear a compression sock with an Errea shin guard?

It's not mandatory, but a compression sock makes it easier to keep the shin guard in place and prevents it from slipping during play. Some players prefer elastic straps, which achieve the same result without the need for an additional sock.

Can I wear an Errea shin guard under any football sock?

A shin guard generally slips under the club sock or a compression sock, as long as the thickness of the model remains compatible with the cut of the sock. If the sock is very tight, a thin shin guard is preferable to avoid discomfort at the calf.

How do I clean an Errea shin guard?

A wash with warm water using a cloth or a soft brush is enough to remove dirt and sweat after a match. It's best to let the shin guard air dry rather than placing it near a source of heat, which can warp the shell.

Where can I check the current prices of Errea shin guards?

The prices displayed on the specifications of each Errea shin guard reflect current availability. To spot a price drop, it's helpful to regularly check the sales and deals pages on the site.
