Advantages: Great shinpads at great price Disadvantages: There are better shinpads than these
My mum recently bought me these new shinpads and I instantly thought, "Sondico? MUM! Where's my Nike shinpads!"
Now I'm glad she didn't buy the nike ones for a couple of reasons,
I think these ones are far more comfatable.
When I got these out of the pakaging I could already tell that these were going to be a really good pair of shinpads.
They have rubber insides and rubber around the sharp plastic edges which will keep your shins well protected and really comfatable.
They have an ankle guard already attached to protect your ankles from hard knocks and studs attached to them so these are ideal for football and hockey.
They also look really cool, dark blue plastic with black rubber and a black ankle guard, or silver plastic with a black ankle guard.
I have already used these shinpads for football, rugby and hockey, I ...
Advantages: Central location Disadvantages: Rude receptionist
available were coming cheap. As an arch capitalist who is a firm believer in the supply and demand philosophy I had no real objections to being charged over and above the normal rates though I was still against paying unnecessarily over the odds for just one night. The Britannia, for instance, a three star hotel close to Piccadilly in central Manchester where I had stayed on my previous visit, wanted around £100 for the night.

It came up, amongst others, with the Mitre Hotel.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Mitre Hotel
Advantages: extensive protection to shins and ankles Disadvantages: last seasons style, baulky and hardly a fashion statement.
The good points about these shinpads are that with mitre you have peace of mind over the quality and durability, at a premium. These shinpads have ankle protectors which will help to protect your ankles from serious impact injuries, they will not however prevent twisted ankles etc. The good thing about them is that they are now relatively cheap and do provide you with good protection around £8 online.
However now to the bad side they only have a very simple design and are nothing flash, they weigh a relatively large amount compared to more modern counterparts around 0.4kg in size large. Where their addidas equivalents weigh just 0.26kg and believe it or not these slight variations can be the edge you need to get to the ball. Especially for the slower runner for whom i would advise to buy the lightest boots and shinpads. A good pair ...
