YOKKAO 'The Flame' Shin Guards
1Start with height
Use your height for the first pass

Your height
Use your barefoot height to choose the starting row.
Pad body
Measured on the guard from the top edge of the shin pad to the ankle flex.
Foot protector
Measured on the guard from the ankle flex toward the toe edge.
A and B are product dimensions, not body measurements. Use them to compare sizes or measure a guard that already fits.

| 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 7 in | 16.3 in | 6.5 in | |

3Confirm your choice
Prioritize knee clearance.
Choose the smaller row when it still clears the kneecap, covers the shin and closes securely. Choose the larger row when the smaller guard sits short or the straps pinch.
4Use this size
Apply the size to the product
Select a row above. Your current color stays selected.
When it arrives
Confirm the fit before training
Put on both guards and secure every strap before judging the fit.
- Top edge sits below the kneecap in your stance
- Foot protector ends before the ball of the foot
- Straps close securely without calf pressure
- Guard stays centered through kicks, checks and squats
If any check fails, do not train in the gear. Start an exchange while it is still returnable.

Do they slip?
YOKKAO shin guards like the Matrix or Institution rarely slip due to non-slip interiors, stress-resistant Velcro straps, and dual elastic foot/ankle bands that lock in place during checks or clinches in Muay Thai. The Flames model adds reinforced foot guards for extra stability; however, on larger calves, they may shift if not sized up.
Which is best for a beginner?
For beginners, the YOKKAO Institution with its high triple-layer protection and lightweight microfiber is forgiving for learning checks, while the Matrix offers premium cowhide for those wanting long-term quality without bulk - the Flames adds extra foot reinforcement for knee strikes.
Leather or microfiber - what changes for durability or care?
YOKKAO's Matrix uses cowhide leather that molds with use for a custom feel and natural breathability, requiring conditioning to avoid cracking - lasting 2-4 years with care. Microfiber in Institution/Flames is vegan, easier to clean, and more sweat-resistant for humid gyms, without fading; users note microfiber is lighter and lower-maintenance than leather but may show wear faster on straps - air dry and avoid sun for both.
