Puma Ultra Shin Guards with Ankle Socks Usage Guide

Puma Ultra shin guards with ankle socks are ideal for amateur-semi-professional football:

• 11-a-side football: full regulatory protection for shin + ankle
• Futsal/Indoor football: superior stability for quick movements and tackles
• Intense training: comfort for 90+ minute sessions without shifting
• Football academy: ease of wearing for children/teenagers

Wear directly on the skin or over thin socks. Compression sleeve keeps the shin guard in place without tape. PP shell protects against tackles, slides, and ball impacts. Ankle protection prevents malleoli bruising during tackles.
