How do i get the custom fit of the shin guards?
You can find the fitting process in our video at the following link or on the inside of the packaging.
These are the individual steps:
- Fill the included spray bottle with water.
- Hold the cover in the position you want and mark the top edge on your shin.
- Pick a side and start with one leg. Pay attention to the markings on the left and right of the cover and pad for the correct arrangement.
- Remove the white protective film from the cover and pad.
- Using the spray bottle, spray your shin with a little water (approx. 5-10 sprays).
- Put on the gloves provided to avoid staining the cast.
- Take the cast out of the vacuum bag.
- Place the layers appropriately on top of each other. The pad comes down with the care foil and the cast is placed on it. Now spray the cast with 5-10 sprays of water and place the INIT cover on the cast.
- Remove the care film from the back. IMPORTANT: The care film must not be thrown away as it will still be needed!
- Position the shin guard on your shin according to your marking and press it firmly.
- The hardening process takes approximately 10 minutes. Meanwhile, regularly smooth your shin guard on your leg.
- A few more sprays of water are needed for the first release from the shin. Apply the sprays onto the adhesive surface while slowly and carefully removing the shin guard. In everyday use, it is not necessary to use water when removing the shin, as the protector can be easily removed through sweat.
- Place the care film back on the adhesive surface to keep the pad fresh and protected.
- Repeat the process with the other leg.
For storage, you can pack your shin guards in the included INIT mesh bag. The mesh pocket is also the ideal place to store the care film while the protectors are in use. After use, the care film is reapplied to the adhesive surface. To optimally care for your shin guards, follow the care instructions provided.
What do I have to pay attention to when adjusting?
The skin should be cleansed before applying creams, lotions, etc.
Ideally, mark the place where you want your shin guards to be attached beforehand.
Please use the gloves provided for the cast. As soon as the cast vacuum bag is opened, the hardening process begins. The more water gets on the cast, the faster it hardens.
During the adjustment process, you should press the shin guards firmly and smooth it regularly for 10 minutes. If the shin guard sticks too strongly when you remove it, spray the inside with a little water.
Make sure you don't mix up the shin guards (L for left and R for right).
How long can I use the gel pad?
According to our manufacturer, you can complete approx. 30 units (game/training) with the pad.
Proper care of the pad is very crucial and can significantly affect its adhesion ability. The better you look after your shin guards, the longer you will have on your pad. Please note the care instructions provided.
Is the pad gel pad skin-friendly?
Yes, only dermatologically tested material comes into contact with the skin.
If I have leg hair, do I have to worry about having the hair removed?
No. The adhesive surface of the pad can be easily removed from the shin without pulling out hair, so there is no need to worry about waxing.
How long do the shin guards take to harden?
As a rule, the shin guard needs around 30 - 45 minutes to harden (of which it should be on the shin for a maximum of 10 minutes).
It always depends on how much water you spray the cast. The more water the faster it hardens.
Can I use the shin guards immediately afterwards?
Theoretically yes. However, we recommend waiting approx. 2-3 hours.
This means you can be sure that the shin guards have really hardened completely.
Can I undo the customization of the protector?
No. Because the material hardens once, it is no longer possible to change the shin guard later.
