What are the best shin guards?
In general, the hook and loop closure is preferred over the various alternatives. Leather is preferred over synthetic. Shin guards run the gamut between a little cushioning and armor that’ll make it so you can’t feel anything. To a certain extent, your shins need conditioning to be able to absorb the pain of kicking repeatedly so you probably don’t want to use armor-like shin guards all the time. If you’re sparring keep in mind how your opponent is going to feel.
