A smaller silhouette for players who prefer less bulk beneath their soccer socks.
Curved to follow the front of the shin for a closer, more stable fit.
A soft EVA foam backing creates a cushioned layer between the guard and your shin.
Compact shin coverage with less surface area than a traditional full-size guard.
MiniGuard comes in four guard sizes. Choose a smaller size for the most minimal profile or a larger size for increased shin coverage.
All sizes share the same low-profile construction. Only the guard dimensions and coverage area change.
Compact enough to fit in your hand and remain discreet beneath your soccer sock.
Compare the guard against your shin to understand its coverage before choosing your size.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Two FTL MiniGuards in your selected size and color.
A reusable FTL drawstring bag for carrying your MiniGuards and everyday training essentials.
Choose a smaller size if you prioritize the most minimal feel. Choose a larger size if you prefer more coverage across the front of your shin.
MiniGuard sizes refer to the dimensions of the guards—not your shoe size, height or calf circumference.
See the Difference
MiniGuard is designed for players who prefer a smaller, lower-profile guard beneath their soccer socks. Its compact construction reduces bulk, but also covers less of the shin than a traditional full-size guard.
MiniGuard combines a firm outer shell with EVA cushioning in a curved, low-profile construction.
The contoured shape follows the front of the shin for a closer, more stable fit beneath your soccer sock.
The molded outer shell creates a firm protective layer across the front of the shin.
EVA foam cushioning creates a softer contact layer between the guard and your shin.
Rounded, finished edges help the guard sit more comfortably against the leg.
MiniGuard is designed to sit close to your shin beneath your soccer sock. Use a compatible shin guard sleeve to keep it securely in place. FTL sleeves are sold separately.
Pull the sleeve over your foot and position it comfortably around your lower leg.
Place MiniGuard inside the sleeve with the hard shell facing outward and the EVA cushioning against your shin.
Pull your soccer sock completely over the sleeve and guard. Walk, bend your knee and make a few match-like movements to confirm the guard stays centered and secure.
MiniGuards need to be held securely in place beneath your soccer socks. We recommend using compatible shin guard sleeves, such as FTL GuardSleeves, which are available separately.
