Advice

I have a couple of pair of shin guards that cover above the knee and down on the top of my shoes.

A year ago I got a set of Honig's shin guards that are shorter and I LOVE them. They cover the knee cap with no problem but don't go down to the ankle or on top of the foot.

In the HS baseball/softball games I do I don't NEED it to cover more than this and they are lighter and easier to use. The fact that I'm wearing high top hard toe plate shoes means I already have foot and toe protection. Best I remember they are under $50 on the Honig's site. Good luck.
