Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose?
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. There is no official size chart by age: hold a ruler against your shin and choose how much you want to cover.
What's the difference between the models?
Black, White, Pink, Aqua and Carbon Look differ in design and size. EVA GOAT and EVA Aqua are the soft foam versions, in 9 or 15 cm.
Are mini shin pads legal?
There's no minimum size in centimetres: 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 for reasonable protection, covered by the socks, and says the player is responsible for their size. 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?
Your sock holds them on the shin. For extra stability, use TrincheBalk adhesive shin pad strips.
Can I add my name or a photo?
Not on this model. For a photo or name and number, choose the Personalised mini shin pads, personalised in Tuscany.
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.
