Height and shin guard length

[Hipster 5]

How tall are you and what length shin guard do you use? I'm 5'5" and I can't decide whether to order 13" (which is considered a junior size) and 14". The 14" fits OK but it does bump my skate a little when I fully flex forward.

what about you? go shorter for flexibility or longer for more protection?

6-1, 15" CCM 852s and I tuck them in behind the tongue of my skates. I find that having them over the top requires that I tape the hell out of them or they go down to the top of my foot. Then I need longer pads and that feels too restrictive.

6'5" and wear 18".

Guys here is a quick outline for SG sizing we use for CCM.

12"- 4' 8" - 5'

13"- 5' - 5' 4"

14"- 5' 4" - 5' 8"

15"- 5' 8" - 6'

16"- 6' - 6' 3"

17"- 6' 3"+

Remember the size varies if you tuck them in (Might want to go shorter) or put them over the tongue of the skates (Might want to go longer).

Sizes vary by brand as well.

I'm 5-11, I used to tuck in my shins and wore a 14". I recently switched to wearing them outside the skate and went up to a 15".

6'1" - 12 inch shins. I tuck mine in, but I think I need to go little bigger.

[wickedwrister 0]

5'10" and wear 15's over the tongue.

Five foot ten and a half. I use 14" shin pads as I tuck them in under the tongue. Anything longer feels restrictive and affects my skating but I am vulnerable where my shin meets my foot, or pretty much where I lace my skates.

5'11" - 16 (outside the skate)

[mojo122 535]

5'10" and wear 15's over the tongue.

One-inch shorter, same length shin pads, over and not under.

[Michael9 57]

5 foot 5 and i wear 13 inches. I put them over my skate.

[Thockey17 1]

6'2-->16inch over my tongue

I'm 5'10 and wear 15" Jofa xx90s under the tongue. I was using 14"s for a long time but they were about a half inch too short (kneecap a bit lower than my knee and sometimes if I fell, the pad would shift down and I'd bump my knee) so I went up a size and they've worked out great.

im 5'8 and wear 15' vapor 10s. i wore 16' jofa pro stock shin pads when i was as short as 5'5 though

6'2" - use 15" shins tucked in for inline and 16" shins over the top for ice. Used to use 16" Bauer pads tucked in, but my current CCM and Jofa pads size differently.

I'm 5'9" and I use 14" koho shin guards. I put my skate tongue inside the flap between the padding and the plastic part of the shin guard and they fit just right, not really any problems.

you can't always use height as a guide as some folks have long trunks, long necks, etc, but have short legs. best is to try them on.
