Frequently Asked Questions

What does instep protection mean and why does it matter?

Instep protection extends the shin guard to cover the top of your foot. This is important in Muay Thai and kickboxing where low kicks, sweeps, and checks can expose the foot to impact. Standard shin-only guards leave the instep unprotected. The T-17 Shin Instep Guards cover both the shin and the top of the foot in one integrated piece.

What is the sizing guide for the T-17 shin instep guards?

Measure from your knee down to your ankle: S fits under 14 inches (36cm), M fits 14–16 inches (36–41cm), L fits 16–17 inches (41–43cm), and XL fits 17 inches (43cm) and above. For dedicated Muay Thai training, some fighters prefer to size up for greater shin coverage during heavy leg kick exchanges.

Can I use the T-17 shin guards for both Muay Thai and MMA?

Yes — the T-17 shin instep guards are designed to perform across both disciplines. The sleek profile and instep coverage handle Muay Thai clinch work and kicks, while the construction is light enough for MMA ground exchanges where bulky guards can be restrictive.

How should I care for and maintain these shin guards?

After each session, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and air dry with the straps open — never store them closed while wet. The QD-1 moisture-wicking lining reduces odour buildup. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade the Kalix Skin leather over time.
