They do make the bottom of the shin guards splay just a bit. I took a shot to the top of my right foot and didn't even feel it. All in all, I think I'm going to be very happy with them. However, if I had the purchase to do over, I would have gotten the low tops due to the weight.

Heavy? They are measurably lighter than Davis or Honigs plate shoes. I have never worn as light a plate shoes as the New Balance.
