Frequently asked questions

What sizes do mini shin pads come in?
It depends on the model. GOAT, Pink, Aqua and Personalised come in 8, 10 and 12 cm; the Carbon Look is 10 cm; the foam pads come in 9x6 and 15x9 cm. 8 cm is super minimal, 10 cm is the balance and 12 cm gives more coverage.
Are mini shin pads legal?
Law 4 of the IFAB Laws of the Game (2026/27 edition) asks for shin guards made of a suitable material and of an appropriate size to give reasonable protection, covered by the socks, and says players are responsible for their size. It sets no minimum size in centimetres. Leagues and age groups can have their own rules: check with the referee or your club before the match.
How do you keep them in place under your socks?
Your socks hold them in position. If you want more stability, use TrincheBalk adhesive shin pad strips, which work with our models.
What's the difference between plain and personalised mini shin pads?
Plain pads carry a TrincheBalk design (GOAT, Carbon Look, Pink, Aqua) or are made of foam. Personalised pads carry your photo or your name and number, are personalised in Tuscany, and you see a preview in the editor before you order.
How do I choose a size?
Compare the sizes listed on the product page with your preferences. Check your league or competition rules with your club or referee before the match.
Can I return them?
Returns within 30 days of delivery, except personalised items and sale items. The customer pays the return postage. See the return policy.

Mini football shin pads: small, ultra light shin pads in a mini format. Small and durable. Unnoticeable under your socks, maximum freedom of movement.

Models and sizes. Goat White, Goat Black, Pink and Aqua in 8, 10 and 12 cm (8 cm is the smallest, 12 cm the largest): polypropylene (PP) shell with EVA foam inside. Carbon Look in 10 cm, with a carbon-effect finish. Soft EVA foam mini shin pads, 9x6 or 15x9 cm, if you prefer a soft shin pad. And Personalised Mini Shin Pads with your photo, name and number, in 8, 10 and 12 cm.

How to keep them in place. Put on your grip sock, place the mini shin pad on the front of your shin and pull the sock sleeve (footless sock) up over it: it holds it in place. Alternatively, or for extra hold, use shin pad adhesive strips.

Mini football shin pads: small, light, yours

TrincheBalk mini shin pads are made for players who want to feel light on the pitch: small shin pads that sit under your socks and let you move freely, in matches and in training. Here you'll find every model: GOAT black and GOAT white, Carbon Look, Pink, Aqua and the soft foam versions.

Sizes depend on the model. GOAT, Pink, Aqua and Personalised come in 8, 10 and 12 cm: 8 cm is super minimal, 10 cm is the perfect balance and 12 cm gives more coverage. If you're unsure, 10 cm is the middle ground. The Carbon Look is 10 cm and the foam pads come in 9x6 and 15x9 cm. There is no official size chart by age: the easiest way is to hold a ruler against your shin and decide how much you want to cover.

Want your name, your number or a photo? Head to the personalised mini shin pads, personalised in Tuscany. To keep them in place under your socks there are adhesive shin pad strips, and for grip add a pair of football grip socks. For dreamers who play light.
