Personally I use Gerry Davis shin guards... others will have other recommendations.

Those have a toe guard, right? I think I'd need to go to a shorter shin guard, or a low-cut shoe with my current ones (Wilson West Vest A3409 WV).

It's removable (velcro). Nice feature when I am working low level rec or something and dont wear my plate shoes. I just throw on the guard.

I dont know if I am recommending them or not.. at first I didnt like them. Now they are growing on me. The big seller for me on them was the ankle guard. Those are great.

To each his own, but I wouldn't exactly describe a shoe with 3 or 4 huge rivets visible as "sharp looking." :rolleyes:

3 rivets (2 bottom 1 top), exact same size as spotbilts 6 (3 top 3 bottom). I have them side by side comparing them.

I am wondering why either of them need exposed rivets at all. My old Riddell's (man, I wish they still made those) don't have them. There is no need for them.

I've always thought the Spotbilt plate shoes were ugly, because of the rivets. So, I guess the NB is only half ugly! 😉

All personal taste... nothing more.

Does that mean that the NB are ug, or are they ly?

Did they have sisters named Merry and Happy?

What about the all-natural face mask, and ball bag on a stick?
