Questions & Answers
Thank you very much for getting in touch with us at RDX. We will not advise you to wear clear clothing. Soap and water are the best way to clean your shin guards. Use a soft cloth, soap, and water to clean the surface.
They are not intended for children. This brand could possibly have a kid's version.
My partner has always worn shin guards when we've practiced with these. However, I've practiced techniques in which my bare arms must make contact with oncoming kicks while my partner wears guards. It may hurt a little more if only one person wears guards while the other does not, but it will be tolerable, and these will provide enough cushion for your training.
The majority of the foot is covered by them. Despite the fact that I don't have "finger toes," the foot pad extends nearly to the nail bed of my big toe.

br>br>Now, based on my previous experience with RDX, I was confident that these would perform admirably! However, there were two things that I didn't like (one was my fault, and the other I believe was due to the product's workmanship). br>br>First, I used the sizing guide to order a Large based on my measurements, which I'll list below. br>br>Shin 15. 5 inchesbr>br>Instep 8 inchesbr>br>Calves just over 19 inches (There was no measurement for calves, that is just a point of reference)br>br>The Large was simply too small for someone with my specifications. The top strap of the calves probably only bit down about an inch; I knew they wouldn't last long with that much bite, and the stitching on the instep seemed to miss the mark around the pad below it in some places. Now, if these had fit perfectly, I probably would not have given it a second thought, but that, along with the overall feel of the units, seemed to fall short of my expectations in terms of quality. The difference between these and the gloves I got from RDX was night and day. br>br>To wrap up my story, I had written RDX (or the vendor in this case) about my concerns, and they were VERY quick to respond and do whatever I needed to get a refund or an exchange. I chose to get a refund and ordered some Top King shin guards from Thailand, which are fantastic. I would highly recommend those, especially for someone my size, but the folks at RDX did a fantastic job and were very prompt in getting me taken care of. EDIT: br>br> 4/17 RDX contacted me to let me know that they had updated this model's version and wanted to send it to me for free. As pleased as I was with that, they offered me store credit for the original item, despite the fact that I had already received a prompt refund. These guys went out of their way to make sure I was completely satisfied. My RDX gloves are still going strong and looking great after a year, and I am confident that you will find similar quality now that they have been revised. As a result, my rating for them has been raised to five stars. I'm grateful that the RDX team went above and beyond when it wasn't necessary.
Look Elsewhere is a good idea. REVIEW UPDATED - To be honest, as a new Muay Thai fighter with no knowledge of proper or best gear, I bought these shin guards solely on the basis of appearance and price, but as my experience has taught me, they were a complete waste of money. Let's take a look at the disadvantages: 1) br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>b Between the shin and instep portions of the shin guard (where the vertical portion meets the horizontal - there is a gap in padding) there is a gap in padding. or the point at which the foot and leg meet). As a result, it's possible to take or deliver an unprotected blow that stings a little and/or injures you - During training, this is not a good thing.
2). Because the padding is thin to non-existent, blocks, kicks, and checks can be felt. br>3). The stability of these shin guards is severely lacking. They'll move around during training and need to be readjusted frequently. To that end, don't even think about using these for sparring or competition. It's very likely that you'll come to regret your decision. br>br>Since then, I've bought Top King shin guards, and the difference between the two is striking. Given my satisfaction with my replacement shin guards, I donated them to my gym for use by newcomers or more experienced students who may have forgotten to bring their guards with them. Unfortunately, the same problems I had were exacerbated by the fact that others at the gym, regardless of build or skill level, complained of the same or similar shortcomings. br>br>Meanwhile, I'd like to make the following suggestion: WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND IT? Make sure you don't make the same mistake I did when it comes to protective gear. Stick to the top manufacturers instead of buying for cosmetic or financial reasons - To name a few, there are Fairtex, Top King, and Twins Special.
- REVIEW OF THE FIRST EDITION - br>Comfy, but the padding density is lacking. I attempted a few roundhouse kicks during practice, but they were blocked by elbows. I got a good sense of each block.
These are comfortable to wear and have a light weight to them. I like how they fit better than my Top Kings, but I don't think they're built as well. Following a six-month period of less-than-ideal living conditions, than- With average use (I mostly use my Top Kings), the surface has more wear and tear than I would expect. br>br>Downgrading to 3 stars. br>The vinyl coating around the edges is peeling away. These appear to be in bad shape. My Top Kings, as I previously stated, see a lot more action and have a much nicer appearance. The furniture appears to be nearly new. Surprisingly, my RDX MMA gloves are having the same problem. (the peeling process).
In September, I received my black belt in the Shaolin Kempo style, where we spar almost every week. I'd tried other shin guards before and ended up with badly notched shins that were extremely painful. The most recent injury was caused by a downward elbow block, and it has been bothering my entire lower leg for the past three months. These are the first shin guards I've found that do a good job of protecting my shins, and they're fantastic. My only disappointment is that I have long feet, and the XL guards do not extend past my toes' upper slots. I'm still thankful for the shin guards, but I'm concerned about my toes.
I just used them for the first time today in sparring and they are very comfortable on top of the foot and when checking kicks they don't slide around everywhere they fit nice way better than my last pair which I got at the gym, DO NOT USE THESE FOR HEAVY BAG USE, I was taught to only use shin guards for sparring and we spar at a decent pace and they held up extremely well, it's best to use the bag without shin guards because it's So far, everything has worked out well.
POW! Genuine shin guards for those who spar and fight on a regular basis! So good. Muay Thai is ideal for the only fit system. I bought another pair for a teammate because they were so good. Up to the knee with good foot coverage. They aren't so big that lugging them around with my bag is a pain. This is the real deal. High-end product.
