If you want your granddaughter to look like a high-speed highlighter on the pitch, these Adidas Tiro Match Shin Guards are an absolute neon dream. The fluorescent yellow-green is so bright it practically provides its own stadium lighting, which is great for spotting her from the nosebleed seats.However, while they’re winning the beauty pageant, the internal stitching is currently winning a wrestling match against her shins. It’s a bit of a "beauty is pain" situation that she didn't sign up for. Unless you want her playing every game with the grit of a gladiator fighting a sandpaper suit, you’ll likely need to go rogue with a pair of kitchen scissors.Bottom line: They look sharp, but they feel a little too sharp. A quick DIY "surgical" intervention on those seams should turn these from torture devices into her favorite piece of kit.
