Shin guards Macron

What can you find in the selection of Macron shin guards?

The selection of Macron shin guards includes models designed to protect the front of the leg during a match or training. The Italian brand, which also supplies professional clubs, offers protections that combine a hard shell and shock-absorbing foam to reduce the impact of contact and tackles. These shin guards are suitable for both beginners and those who regularly play in clubs or for leisure.

How to choose your Macron shin guards?

The choice primarily depends on the player's size and the level of protection required. Shin guards come in various sizes, usually related to stature or age, and it's important to check the length of the shin to be covered before ordering. Some models include ankle protection in addition to the shin, which may be preferable for positions exposed to contact, such as defenders. The retention system, elastic straps or sleeves, also affects comfort and stability during play.

Frequently asked questions

Are Macron shin guards compatible with standard football socks?

Yes, most Macron models are designed to be slipped directly into a standard football sock, without an additional sleeve. However, some models do have their own elastic sleeve, which can be worn underneath or over the sock depending on the desired comfort.

Do Macron shin guards also protect the ankle?

It depends on the model: standard shin guards cover only the shin, while some versions include an extension or an additional shell at the ankle. It's advisable to check the product specifications to see if ankle protection is included.

How to determine the right size of shin guard for a child?

The size is generally chosen based on the player's height, indicated on the product sheet in centimeters. It’s recommended to measure the length of the shin, from below the knee to above the ankle, and compare it with the size chart for the chosen model.

Are Macron shin guards allowed in official competition?

Wearing shin guards is mandatory in almost all competitions governed by a federation, regardless of the brand, as long as they adequately cover the shin. It is up to each player to check the specific regulations of their competition.

Can you wear Macron shin guards with futsal or indoor football shoes?

Yes, wearing shin guards is not limited to outdoor eleven-a-side football and is also recommended in futsal or indoor football, where contact and quick changes of support also expose the shin to impacts. The choice mainly depends on the comfort and lightness of the model.
