what type of shin pads do you prefer

HI

im looking for a new pair of shin pads, my current ones are breaking, they are the type that you put on like a sock.

I havnt seen proffesionals use this type, they seem to have just a small pad.

I think the ones you wear like a sock offer protection for ankles but restrict movement and are less comfortable which is why pros don't like wearing them. The ankle/'larger' ones tend to also be heavier.

yeah the larger ones arnt that comfortable, maybe ill try just the shin guards

thanks
