How to mould your shin guard, step by step:
- Prepare: place one shin guard on a clean surface (paper or baking paper).
- Heat: heat it evenly with a hairdryer for 3–6 minutes until the material softens.
- Place: let it cool for 10–15 seconds, then place it directly on your shin (on the skin).
- Shape: press lightly into the shape you want. Tip: hold it in place with cling film if needed.
- Set: after about 3 minutes the shin guard has taken your shape. Repeat with the second one.
Performance 2.0, Mini PRO or Sleeve – which is right for you?
The Performance 2.0 is the most advanced option – ideal if you want a made-to-measure fit and are happy to mould it once with a hairdryer. Want plug-and-play without moulding? The Mini PRO is your pick. Looking for the system with a built-in holder? Check out the Sleeve.
Who is the Performance 2.0 made for?
For players who no longer want to choose between protection and comfort. For ambitious amateurs who want a piece of pro equipment in their bag. For players with unusual shin shapes that standard shin guards never fitted. When the shin guard traces your leg, you forget you're wearing it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I shape the shin guards?
With hot air: warm the shin guard with a hairdryer for 3–6 minutes, wait 10–15 seconds, then place it on your shin and shape it with light pressure. After about 3 minutes it has set – in your exact shape.
How much protection do they offer?
The Performance 2.0 protect reliably up to a certain level of physical play. To be honest: no shin guard offers 100 % protection against injury – but thanks to the exact fit, the protection sits exactly where you need it.
Do they slip during a match?
Because they're shaped to you, they sit much more securely than standard shin guards. For a secure hold, combine them with your football socks or choose the Tapedesign shin guard sleeve.
How do I clean them?
Simply wipe with water and let them dry – this prevents unpleasant odours.
Which size do I need?
One size. Because you shape the shin guards to your own shin, they fit everyone – from slim to muscular legs.
What should I watch out for when storing them?
Store them somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Too much heat can deform the material – keep them in the shade and not in a hot car.
