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.

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.
