ARDUGA

Questions and answers

Everything parents and coaches want to know before buying.

Which size fits my child?

S is shoe size 28–32 (approx. 5–7 years), M is shoe size 33–37 (approx. 8–10 years) and L is shoe size 38–42 (approx. 11–13 years). The sock is elastic – if in doubt, choose the larger size.

How do I wash the ARDUGA socks?

Machine wash at 40 °C, do not tumble dry. The protection is unaffected – it was explicitly tested after five wash cycles at 40 °C.

Does the sock really protect enough during a match?

Yes. Our shin guards were tested by the independent Italian laboratory RICOTEST against the European standard EN 13061:2009 for association football shin guards: stud impact and blunt impact, and specifically after five wash cycles at 40 °C. All tests were passed. In the blunt impact test the highest measured value was 1.0 kN – the standard permits up to 2.0 kN.

How long does delivery take?

Within Switzerland usually 2–3 working days by A-Post. For international orders the duration depends on the destination country and the shipping option chosen.

Can I exchange or return my order?

Exchanges are possible within 30 days as long as the goods are unused and in their original packaging. Details are in our delivery terms.

What makes ARDUGA different from conventional shin guards?

The protection sits firmly inside the sock – no separate guard, no tape, no Velcro straps that cut in. Nothing slips during a sprint, and putting them on takes seconds. Developed in Switzerland for children aged 5 to 12.

Are there special rates for clubs?

Yes. We offer individual pricing for teams and clubs – get in touch via the contact form and we will discuss the details.

Which payment methods can I use?
