Recently purchased some shin guards, very pleased with the purchase.  I just need some advise on how to wear/adjust them.  With my NB plate shoes, they tend to wear a little high, leaving a gap in protection.  I actually tried loosening my shoe laces and putting the flaps inside my shoes, kind of worked until I had to move.  Tried pushing them down onto instep plate of shoes,  then the flaps don't lay flat.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have NB plates, and the 2000 (no difference at the foot) .... I put my shins on after my shoes ... bottoms barely overlap the top of my shoes ... flaps (assuming you're referring to the ankle flaps) cover my ankles .... here's a shot of my right foot isolated from a larger photo, in my stance ....

I also wear the LG1000 and never had a problem with them. Where exactly is the gap?

 

I would post a picture of my foot but there is not way I can match that awesome @Thunderheads foot.

Jax, sorry at work today.  I could post a picture tonight.  From the hard plastic to lining at the bottom, there is a distance of about 2 inches.  With the plate shoes, there is an inch or two from the top to where the instep plate begins.

 

The picture posted will help, I have the exact same setup.  Thank you!
