Everyone in the studio was complaining that their $90.00 shin guards didn't work and they were going home in pain. My shins would hurt for weeks after some serious workouts but I didn't have the extra $90.00 bucks for a product that wasn't going to work. I thought I would give these a try because of the extra gel padding and the price was affordable. The "gel" caught my eye because I've used all different kinds of knee pads at work but was never pain free until I found some gel knee pads. After another week of beating my shins up, I was anxiously awaiting these in the mail. When they arrived I thought I would give them the ultimate test. I put them on then tore into my four poster bed that's made from solid maple. The posts are not round, they are sharp like a 4X4. My shins were still bruised from the previous week, but I could not feel any pain even when I was kicking the sharp corners. Now I look forward to the look on my opponents face when our shins collide, I can keep going hard while everyone else backs off. Forget the fancy names and high dollar stuff. You are wasting your money if you don't get these pads. Great price, they work and are a quality product.
