shin guards
I recently decided to buy new shin guards and after looking around I decided on getting UmpShins. Ordered from Hoenigs, got them yesterday, and tried them on in my livingroom (no pants, not a pretty site)and they seemed great. However today I put them on with my regular pants and unfortunately they're too wide for my pants leg ( or pants leg is too narrow for the guards) fitting too tight. I didn't wear them them at all, just put them back in the box. I wish they worked for me because I did like the construction.
I know I could buy plate pants and solve the issue but I prefer field pants all around and I just bought three new pairs this year. Anybody use a "wrap around" (for lack of a better word) type of guard that fits closer around the calf/ankle? I could buy the same thing I've been using, basicly an older catcher gear pair, but I was looking for something a little better. Any ideas? I thought I'd ask here before I made any more mistakes.
