Which size to choose?
Place the shin pad as low as possible on your leg, so that your malleoli are well covered (making sure there are no pressure points and that your ankle movements are not impeded). Ideally, the top of the shin pad should reach 2cm below your kneecap. Your shin-guard should fit snugly around your calf, but not compress it. The grid below is a good reference:
