Best way to attatch shin armor to boots? Help appreciated! :)

[Flyinpiper[TK]]

Just about ready to submit pics and found another issue I need to address. The Chelsea boots I purchased only go up into the shin guard about an inch, when walking the boots will pull right out and the shin will sit on top the boot. Not cool. The only reference I have seen on this is one guy put a snap in the top front of the boot, and inside the lower front of the shin.

My concern with that is I could see the snap popping out pretty easy with the action of the foot. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Velcro.....  I know of a few that use Velcro on the Front of the shoe and just under the Shin, hidden ... Works Well

I place a 1"x1" patch of industrial velcro on the front of my boots and inside the front of my shins. I never have a problem.

You can make stirrups that attach to the inside of the shin and loop around your foot.

Stirrups... just like on the Next Generation pants!

 

I guess the white elastic for the shoulder bridges would work?

I have this on my set too. works great

How about sewing in some white Velcro on the inside of the webbing in the boot and then making a strap to Velcro attached to the inside of the shin?

 

Should be invisible on the webbing of the boot and you won't have to run anything under your foot.

 

Just a thought

I use industrial velcro. 1/2" pieces all around the top of the boot and inside the leg.
