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.

Are these shin guards certified?

Yes — the Aura Plus T-17 shin instep guards are CE and UKCA certified, meaning they have been independently tested against European and UK safety standards for protective equipment. The inner lining is also REACH-compliant.

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 Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA. 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 Dazzle Fabric lining is breathable and helps reduce odour buildup. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade the Kalix Skin–Maya Hide™ leather over time.
