No one wants to feel the shin pad bouncing under the socks. But you... youre at a whole new level. Wrap the pad once, twice, and three times with shin pad tape. These pads should be as snug as possible. And why you dont do - thats what professionals do. In fact, at the request of some players from The Show we created Howies 1.5" Clear Shin Pad Tape. 1.5" clear sock tape with a 0.5" spread of cover to ensure these pads stay in place. Designed using the same formula as 1" clear and strong enough to keep shinnies while maintaining enough stretch to stretch and contract. The 1.5" clear will keep you comfortable for hours on the ice.
