Custom Shin Guards for Defenders
Defenders block shots, win headers, and throw themselves into tackles. Your shin guards take more direct hits than anyone else's. Shinster pads pair a rigid, impact-spreading shell with a comfortable backing, and carry your own photo or design into every battle.
ProductsMaximum protection where it counts
The hard outer shell spreads stud impacts and blocked shots across the whole pad instead of one painful point. For defenders we recommend the larger L size for more shin coverage, especially if you play centre-back.
Stay planted in the tackle
A shifting shin pad is a distraction you can't afford in a last-ditch challenge. Our pads sit flat against the leg and lock in place under tight socks or sleeves.
Wear your motivation
Defending is about heart. Put your family, your kids, or the badge you'd bleed for on your pads, a reminder of why you throw yourself in front of shots.

FAQ
Which size is best for defenders?
Most defenders choose L (19 × 8.5 cm), the adult size for players above about 160 cm, for the extra coverage. Size S (14 × 8 cm) is meant for kids and juniors; check the size chart on the product page.
Will the printed design wear off from impacts?
The design is printed and sealed into the pad surface. Normal match impacts, mud and washing won't peel it, it's built for football, not for display.
Can I put my club's colors on the pads?
Yes, upload any image or design. Many players use club-color backgrounds with a personal photo on top.
