This is my 2nd paid of Storelli Leg Sleeves, my other is the full length version, which includes the ankle protection (the other pair have been used for years and are still in good condition).I play indoor and outdoor soccer, on turf and grass, so I feel I’ve put them through a fair amount of wear. The fabric Storelli uses for these is great! My socks have ripped/torn from sliding, yet these hold up against all the abrasion, and have not gotten a hole or torn.The sleeve is just tight enough to hold the shin guard in place, but not too tight as to cut off circulation (assuming you purchased the correct size sleeve). Normally I tape above and below the shin guards to hold them in place, but with these sleeves that step is not necessary.The sleeves are held up by elastic bands on the top and bottom, and also by an additional rubber texture on the inside portion of the bands - these work!Taking them off is as easy as rolling the sleeve from the top down; don’t try pulling from the bottom, as the rubbery texture will grip your skin, and you might tear the stitching.As for the additional padding on the outside rear, it’s fairly thin, but durable and protective. Please don’t think that padding is as protective as a shin guard, it is not; however, it absolutely helps your calf from a mildly grazing kick, or rough ground that might typically give you a turf burn.Washing - just throw them in the washing machine..super easy! Storelli advises not to dry them in a dryer (I’ve followed these instructions, so I cannot say whether or not these will hold up in a dryer).Do I recommend these? Absolutely Yes! Especially for younger kids who are playing competitively.Used these for years. They last about 3-4 years with 1-2 games a week with frequent washing. At the end of the lifecycle they are less tight on the legs and might have developed tears (damage) from opposition cleats. Very happy with their durability overall. Writing this review while ordering my 3rd pair. No reservations.3rd pair every time he grows I buy a new pair extra paddind around legs is a big reason and it helps keep him from adjusting his guards throughout the game.it’s nice asfMy daughter loves these sleeves. They are light weight and keep her new carbon shin guards in place. She complained about getting kicked from the side and how it hurt. Now she does not complain at all. I guess the pads on the side do their job as intended. They can be a bit hard to put on, but that is needed if you want to keep the guards effectively in place.Great design and concept. Product needs to be upgraded for durability. Two tourneys in and it’s showing wear and breaking threads.It's a durable sleeve and is well made. Unfortunately it's too big for my daughter to use I'll give it away to another player that can use it.Great Product. However, wish made one with the protection on the inner calf. I have to wear them revers to get that coverage in combination with the body shield leg guard.bought these sleeves because my other shin pad sleeves would not stay up on my calf and they would slip down while playing. These fit my shin pads and they stay put all game, very pleased with theseExcelente calidad!!! Mejor de lo que esperaba!!!!I love the product.Bon produit, fait le job, mais possible de trouver mieux ailleurs (les GForm notamment, meme si le pris n'est pas tout a fait le même).Des protéges tibia nike peuvent y être insérés, mais la fixation n'est pas optimale,des tip top peuvent être nécessaires pour fixer le tout.Amazing
