What is the best WKF Approved First and Shin-/Instep Guard?

I am not sure what you have available to you in Portugal, but we sell both Adidas and Tokaido WKF approved karate mitts and shin/insteps in the USA.

Quality is good for both. No product is perfect, and problems come up from time to time, but both companies stand behind their products.

The fit and coverage is a little different for the shin/insteps. Some people prefer Adidas and some prefer Tokaido. Of our customers, it seems to me that people who prefer Adidas often want the brand, while the ones that prefer Tokaido like something about the design. However, Adidas foam is a bit harder, so it might be less comfortable while providing better protection.

There doesn't seem to be a big difference in mitt preference among our customers.

Tokaido just over Adidas. Arawaza have the best feel but don't last as well.

Thank you! I will buy Arawaza.
