Top King New Pro Leather Shin Guards for Muay Thai

Was a little weary about ordering these because the logo was a different than any of their products I had seen in reviews, and some of the product images even had the logo blocked out for some reason. A quick google search confirmed that Top Kong updated their logo, but I’m not sure why they decided to hide the logo in some colors. But rest assured, these are a genuine Top King product. I saw a lot of mixed advice on sizing throughout the internet and I usually take the chart they use with a grain of salt, and since I’m short (5’6-5’7ish) and THICC (185lbs) especially in my lower half, I was caught in between the medium and the large. I decided to just order both and here’s what I found: The mediums (black) fit perfectly for my height and sit right under my knee. They feel great to move around in, but the strap around my calf was almost too short. The ankle was good though. The large (black/white) on the other hand felt almost like I was playing catcher for a baseball team. They covered almost the entire knee and felt super cumbersome and awkward, and came up a tad too high to where they dug into the back of my knee. Although the strap was the perfect length across my calf and the “TKB” logo was directly in the center. Ended up snagging the mediums and haven’t looked back. They fit and look like I feel they were supposed to, and mobility is flawless. In a perfect world, I would have the mediums with the strap length of the large, because you can tell the longer strap felt a bit more secure, but it’s nothing I can’t live with. Encourage you to try both if you’re stuck between two sizes to erase any “what ifs” you might have. 10/10 product with a sort of sketchy product images and tricky sizing, but definitely recommend! Hope that helps anyone who has similar questions that I did! *Apologies for the crusty mirror pictures.

You get what you pay for. In this case thats a very good thing. The quality is great, they are lightweight but provide a ton of padding. The straps aren't too short or too long and the velcro is very strong. The colors offered are also very nice and the shin pads fit with the natural contour of my leg. Very comfortable and a great purchase.

I sparred once with this shin guards once and already love them. I needed a replacement for my RingtoCage pair that just wore out after several years. Those just did the job but these Top King shin guards look amazing and seem to be very high quality! There is extra padding that goes along with the design of this particular model. Very detailed! I'm assuming that's why it's a $10 premium over the standard colors. As others have pointed out, the elastic bands at the bottom are a very snug fit and hard to get on at first, but I did not experience any discomfort when working with them or sparring. I think you should allow time for this and the guard itself to break-in. IMO I think it's better to start out snug like this and loosen over time than loose/comfortable and unusable shortly after. BTW, I'm 5' 6" and have a fairly muscular lower body. I got a size medium and they fit well. Love these shin guards and they're an easy recommendation!!

Best shin guards ever. I had some other ones. And these ones fit great and go size.

I had Fairtex shin guards for several months, but I kept getting foot injuries (just behind my toes) and shin splints. Turns out that the Fairtex don't cover the feet as much, and they don't have as much protection for the shins.

Well constructed. Runs small (for thinner legs)

Very good shin protectors for muay thai. Arguably the best I've found so far. You have padding for the top of the foot and shin. And if you get the correct size, they don't move easily. Haven't sparred hard with them so I don't know how good they'd be, but they'll keep you safe in beginners classes. I'll update at a later time when I make it to advanced classes.

Very good quality
