Switch from bag work to sparring in seconds. The Fairtex SP7 features a detachable instep/foot protector, so you can train barefoot when you need speed, then clip the foot back on for full-coverage drills and sparring. A pre-curved shell, multi-layer high-density foam, and grippy interior lining keep the guards locked in place while you kick, check, and pivot.

Why you’ll love them

• Detachable foot protector: Remove or reattach via strong hook-and-loop—two guards in one
• Stay-put design: Pre-curved tibia shell with anti-slip inner lining reduces rotation during heavy rounds
• Full-coverage protection: Extended shin and instep panels with dense, multi-layer foam for powerful checks and counters
• Secure & adjustable: Dual rear hook-and-loop straps on the shin; elastic under-foot and heel straps on the instep piece
• Durable build: Tough synthetic leather outer with reinforced edging, handmade in Thailand

Best for

• Muay Thai and kickboxing sparring & drills
• Pad work and partner drills (with or without the foot piece)
• MMA stand-up striking sessions

Fit & feel

• Snug/secure fit that resists twisting
• Anatomical curve follows the shin for natural movement
• Lightweight for quick kicks and pivots
• Short break-in: usually a few sessions
• UK Size Guide

Choose by height and shin length (ankle to just below knee). If you’re between sizes or prefer extra coverage, size up.

• Small (S): 155–165 cm (5'1"–5'5")
• Medium (M): 165–175 cm (5'5"–5'9")

• X-Large (XL): 185–195 cm+ (6'1"+)

Tip: If you use thicker socks/ankle supports or want more lateral coverage for hard sparring, consider the larger size.

FAQs

SP7 vs SP5—what’s the difference?
SP7 has a detachable foot/instep piece for modular use. SP5 has a fixed instep for constant full coverage.

Will they move when I kick hard?
The pre-curved shell, grippy lining, and dual-strap system are designed to keep the shin guard centred, even during heavy rounds.

Can I use them without the foot piece for bag work?
Yes, remove the instep for faster, barefoot-style training, then reattach them for partner drills and sparring.

How should I care for them?
Wipe down after sessions and air-dry fully. Avoid leaving them in a closed gym bag to preserve the foam and lining.
