The shin has an \u003cstrong\u003eanterior crest\u003c\/strong\u003e — the edge you can feel under your finger running down from the knee — that sits \u003cstrong\u003edirectly under the skin\u003c\/strong\u003e. No muscle, no fat layer comes between: between the bone and the outside world there is only the \u003cstrong\u003eperiosteum\u003c\/strong\u003e, the membrane wrapping the bone, and it is densely innervated. That is what makes the impact so painful at equal intensity, and why a bruise there takes so long to clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn disciplines that strike with the legs, that same edge is both weapon and shield: the shin guard comes into play when you take a kick, and when you check one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also protects your partner. In sparring it neutralises the bone edge on \u003cstrong\u003eboth sides\u003c\/strong\u003e of the exchange — which is why most gyms make it compulsory as soon as kicking work begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e📏 Shin guards are sized on height, not weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the beginner's first mistake, and it comes from habit: boxing gloves are chosen by weight. Shin guards are not. What matters is the \u003cstrong\u003elength of the shin\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the wearer's height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe measurement to take: the distance between the \u003cstrong\u003ebottom of the kneecap and the top of the foot\u003c\/strong\u003e, leg straight. That is the length the shell has to cover. A shell that is too short leaves the upper shin bare; one that is too long catches under the knee and pivots during the round. Between two sizes, \u003cstrong\u003etake the larger\u003c\/strong\u003e — a slightly long shell can be adjusted, a short one cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly one of our four manufacturers publishes a numbered chart, that of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sock-shin-guards\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Slip-on shin guards\"\u003esleeve shin guard\u003c\/a\u003e.
