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.
