Interesting
While these shin guards are tiny, I’m not sure they will do much protection, my husband wears them as a joke in our adult league. They are funny, tiny and super softy.

Too small
These were so tiny. It says they are for adults but the rounded shape doesn’t allow for them to sit flush in an adults leg. Even my teenager found they were just too small and didn’t stay in place where she needed them to be. They are lighter sight and can be moved around easily.

Compact and comfortable
These shin guards fit my son perfectly and are compact and comfortable. They are solid and provide protection in his soccer games where shin guards are required. They stay put with or without the interior shin guard sleeve in the sock. They are easy to clean and store between games.

Seems like a joke, but they’re real!
I have to admit as a parent I thought these were a toy or a prank gift. My son saw these arrive in the mail and immediately got excited. He knew exactly what they were and asked to use them. He had seen them online as well as other kids have them. He easily slipped them right on under his soccer socks and has worn them to practice and games several times. They fit in his pocket they are so small! They seem to offer him the protection he needs on his shins for soccer and he loves them!

Hardly there shin “guards”
I was so curious about these shin guards, however I do not recommend them. As a previous player and a mom of kids in the sport, these offer no protection. The package even states “mini guards are optimized for speed and increased range of motions, rather than protection”. They are only about 4” tall.

Mini shin guards.
I received my mini shin guards from Target Hey Bullseye influencer sampling program in exchange for my honest review. I love this product my daughter plays sports mainly soccer and she loves these mini shin guards she says they are very comfortable to wear. She says she doesn't have bruised shins since she started wearing them. She loves how comfortable the straps are. I love that she doesn't have bruised shins anymore. I would definitely recommend this product it is amazing.

Not suitable for youth
So, I guess these would be appropriate for an adult but there isn’t enough protection for a kid; hence my low review. (See comparison pic of his fall guards to compare sizing- he’s 9 years old.) They do slice easily in though and stay in place. Appropriate for practice when NOT scrimmaging for my son but will not fly for a game. Easy to clean since there’s no fabric components.
