Like all good shinpad makes, Adidas design their shin pads to be as comfortable as possible whilst offering substantial protection to the players that wear them. There are literally hundreds of different styles and designs so there is something for everyone. There is also quite a large range of price points so there is something for every budget. At the bottom of the range is the Adidas Anatomic, which retails at around 12 and is one of the more basic Adidas Shinpads. It has a hard layer of plastic on the front to protect the shin and a strap that keeps it in place.

The majority of shin pads come with a polyester sock which contains a protection pad that protects the ankle bone from opponents studs. It is detachable from the main shinpad and held in place with a strip of velcro. This means that you do not have to wear the protective pad every time you wear the shinpad. It is this flexibility that makes Adidas stand out from it’s competitors.

Adidas stock a huge range of different coloured shinpads, so it’s possible the buy a pair that match your teams kits. These come at a range of different price points so everyone is catered for.

It’s a little known fact that Adidas also have a range of shinpads designed specifically for women. They are made so they fit the shapes of a women far better than mens shinpads wood and provide greater protection for women footballers. Adidas have developed their own shin pad technology called ‘ClimaCool’ that manages the build up of heat and moisture by letting the legs breathe. It does so by allowing a flow of air between the shin pad and the leg to regulate the temperature.

Every season the technology behind shinpads improves and this shows no sign of stopping. In recent years this has seen adidas produce lighter and lighter shinpads whilst keeping the levels of protection the same. Because the shinpads are so much smaller they no longer slow players down as they offer next to no resistance.
