it'd try compression sleeves. personally, they didn't have one that i liked so I ended up going back to using mueller underwrap over the guard and tape over the socks

i personally love the wider nike guardstays. I've saved so much money on athletic tape!! They keep my guards up perfectly. I never like compression sleeves, they never seem to do the job for me.

yeah i bought the adidas pro lite shinguards which came with sleeves, and they feel nice. i also bought a pair of guard stays in case

my 70 year old soccer coach said that you shouldnt use tape because it cuts off the circulation to your feet, but then again he is a 70 year old chemistry teacher

Amen.
I use compression sleeves.
Keeps the shinguards in place and calves warm.

yeah tape will cut your circulation off if its too tight. at my last tournament a week ago, i was tired of my guards slipping off in one game, so in the next i put extra tape extra tight. after 10 minutes my legs were sore and i had to come out

the nike guard stays are probably the best option, the only thing is that they are really tight, but of course you can loosen the velcro part.
if not those, then i would go with the original compression sleeves
