Do you have a shim in there? Or is it just the 2 pieces that you have for closing the shins together?

 

If its the latter, then just remove the strip that's on the inside of the shin and velcro them shut and see how that looks/feels.

Good idea, however i think they will be to tight, and im not really sure how to do it without ruining them if it doesnt work.

try one shim on the inside and one shim on the outside and velcro together if you must use both. Instead of both on the outside.

First off, before Panda says it, reverse the overlap on both calfs (kind of a weird pet peeve of Panda's). That way the overlap can't be seen by people standing on the near side.

 

Second, couldn't he try a heat gun to curve those attachment points a little bit?

Really you only want 1 joining strip on each leg not 1 on each side of the leg....

The problem Mark, is that Paul's calf muscles are larger than what the armour was made for so you would have to have one large strip. I tried that at first but it stuck out just as bad. I thought two smaller strips would be better but the problem is still there.

 

I thought maybe some vinyl or leather on the inside to hide the black gap and just have one cover strip on the outside. I thought someone might have had the same kind of problems with their calves and might be able to shed some light on the situation for Paul?

The only way i see it is first off the outer strip overlap the inner strip and get some heat on them

Or as the other guys say do the same thing in outer over inner and velcro them closed.It may be a tight fit but who hasnt suffered for there art .

 

Or looking at the pictures outer over inner,but Glue the inner strip inside the main shine back
