Shin Guards Silver

Shin Guards Silver
Which Shin Guard do i go with?

Okay, so my coach recomended the kind that stick to your leg and you just put socks over them. I want to find the best pair before buying and its impossible to tell. I'm hoping people who've tried out one of the kinds i'm looking at or just know more than i do.
These are the three types i'm looking at:
-CranBarry Moldable Field Hockey Shin Guards which can be found @ http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com/moldableshingd.html
-Anatomica Shinguards which can be found @ http://all4hersports.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=30
-OR Adidas F50 Techfit Shinguards which can be found at http://nscaastore.com/departments-shinguards-adidas-f50-techfit-shinguards--white-cyan-metallic-silver-.html
If i'm looking at the wrong kind (i cant tell) or if you can help me, please do
Thanks!

What are the most important criteria while shopping for soccer shin guards? Let me guess…

If you answered comfort...
...you must be a soccer player.

If you said protection...
...you are a parent of a soccer player.

Unfortunately, comfort and protection in shinguards are somewhat mutually exclusive. In other words: more comfort-less protection and vice versa.

What kind of soccer shin guards should you choose then?
Of course the kind your parents will choose for you. They pay for it…Right?... Just kidding.

Actually they do pay for it (in most cases at least).
So, if there is disagreement between you and you parents on what kind of shinguards to buy - read this guide with your parents.
If there is no disagreement and you just want to find out what’s on the market ( find out more than any commercial site provides these days) - use this guide to make the most valuable selection for you.

Based on my experience as a professional soccer player and now as a soccer parent, let me give you some pointers and recommendations.

Hopefully I will provide you with enough resources to select the kind of soccer shin guards that are adequate for you…and your parents.

Recommendations
To simplify, I categorized these shinguards into three groups. Hopefully it will help you make your choice much easier and you'll end up with soccer shinguards that are perfect for you.
