Shin Pads

[Sukh]

This is going to sound like the stupidest question, but, when I play five-a-side the ankle part of my shin pad rides up my ankle and becomes uncomfortable.

I see player with tape around their shin, is this for that reason or a different one?
Also what can I do to stop it stretching and riding up?

Thanks!

What type of tape do you use?
I was thinking of just getting electrical tape, but it sounds a bit dim.
Also do you tape the outside of the sock, or inside?

O yeh
"Sock Tape" on ebay has brought up a few results, so will get one. When I strike a really hard shot, my shin pad moves around which will hopefully be cured by this

Strap it up with leccy tape.
Got an injury? Strap it up with leccy tape.
Need a temporary captain's armband? Use leccy tape.

Leccy tape is awesome for football

I just used some, and it has solved my problems
Just a quick follow up, do you use the thin stuff 19mm or 50mm?

I think I will get some wide stuff from screwfix when I got past next.

Just an update, I have the padding bit at the bottom, but the elastic that goes under the foot is the bit I wanted secure, got two rolls of 33 metre tape from screwfix for a pound and it does the job

(I used up the old leccy tape I had)
