Product Features

  • High quality leather over high density foam padding
  • Wrap-around neoprene to hold pad in place (not straps)
  • Designed with grappling in mind
  • Serious, professional gear for long and heavy workouts

Product Description

Product Description

These are top-of-the-line leather and neoprene grappling shin instep pads. Used for grappling, MMA, Muay Thai, and kickboxing. They are NOT intended for beginners or casual students. They are serious gear if you don't want to mess with the cheap stuff and want something that's going to hold up to STRENEOUS workouts.

There is a key difference between these pads and others: no straps on the back of your leg.

They have a high quality leather front with extremely high density foam padding. That's on top of a fully enclosed neoprene "sock" for your calf and an extra elastic strap under your instep (so they don't ride up your leg). Not super easy to get on and off, but very comfortable when you're using them.

Because the neoprene encloses your entire calf, they don't slip around when your fighting takes you to the ground. However, with no leg straps, nothing is cutting into the back of your calf. A VERY welcome change from the pads with straps.

Also, because the padding on the front is so dense, these are VERY popular with anyone doing Muay Thai or kick boxing. For most other "stand-up" arts (where you rarely go to the ground for any length of time), these are overkill and, honestly, you can find cheaper pads that would work just as well.

These have a "traditional" Muay Thai lace/cord tie around the top of the calf. Used to help keep the pads secure - though we find the laces aren't really needed. You can obviously keep them tucked in (or cut them off like we do for grappling).

If you're looking at pair of pads (whether you get them from us or not) make sure you can see the back of the pads. If they don't tell you different, the pads are using straps to hold the shin pad to your leg  and they are NOT the same thing.

These are truly some of the finest pads on the market and, if you're a serious martial artist, they are worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kicks were fast as lightnin', November 16, 2007
Excellent shin and instep pads. The shin pad is strong and durable and the instep pad is very flexible. These pads allow for free movement especially at the ankle and the instep pad doesn't hinder your movement, you can easily curl your toes back to hit with the ball of your foot, which most foot and instep pads don't let you do easily or sometimes not at all. These are also very easy to quickly put on and take off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seem to work pretty well, satisfied with them, February 15, 2008
By Adam (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
  
They're pretty comfortable, and fit very snug. I've been doing a lot of kicks to a heavy bag, and the difference with and without these is obvious. I will agree with the other person who wrote a review who said they aren't the easiest thing to take off. They go on really easy though. I think it's a combination of sweat plus being out of breath and sore after a work out that makes taking them off a lot harder than getting them on. However, I can't imagine that other products which fit as snugly would be able to come off any easier.

Bottom line is I'd recommend these. Good value, and it saves your shins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shin & Instep Pads, December 24, 2007
These pads are amazing. I was very pleases when i received them in the mail. The material is very comfortable, Doesn't cause skin irritation on me and it doesn't hinder my movement in any way. Although it is somewhat set like a mold on the shin it is still very comfortable.
The only down side is that i was mislead about them being easy to slip in and out of. Putting them on Is very easy and the drawstrings are actually quite useful, but they do not come off easily or quickly. I am pleased with the seller and the product and i would advise MMA students these. I myself do Muay Thai and am very happy with them.
