What kind of shinguards do you wear or do pro's wear? I just bought a pair of the Nike Chrome Contour BPS, which are second best to my Cobra Molten Ultralite's. But i was really wondering what kind do pro's wear? I saw a pair of beckham's shinguards, but other than that I have no idea what they wear.

I have the Nike Vapor Lite...i really like them and their extremely light! although i think i got a size too big because the sleeve is a little loose at the end. What are the shinguards beckham has???

Beckham has the ADIDAS Silhouette. I've also bought them last year for 15€. They don't have an ankle support, this was why I've bought them because I hate the support.

I use Nike Team-Guard...the ultra small shin guard that is ultra light but serves me well...although it's designed to cover only 3/4 of my shin..still does the job well and feather light.

I wear the Nike Air Maximus Maximus, the fit perfectly to my shin. Lotto Stadio is a boot though...

If I really get tackled hard, having an ankle support or not doesn't really matter.

Yarr... ankle support is used mostly to help you to run straight without twisting your ankle

Yeah i got those Beckham Sillouette in the Lunar colour, i got em cos they are light weight while also providing the safe amount of protection. I don't like wearing bulky shinpads. Only problem is that they often slip down my shin as i run and i always put tape round near my ankle to hold them up-only problem is i often end up doing it too tightly and get calf problems as i run, possible cutting off of blood supply??????????????????? :o
