Size is relative, It depends on how much coverage she/you want. I bought the XL for my son and at 6'1" it barely covered his shin, in my opinion, but then I don't let him play with out his entire shin being covered because as a goalie he consistently gotten cleated just under the knee. Before picking a size ask what position she'll be playing and how much shin coverage she wants (some kids don't want any) and pick a shin guard size with that in mind. FYI The actual guard part of the XL size for these is just over 8 inches and I believe the sizing chart says it's supposed to fit people 6'2"-6'5". Here's a link to their size chart. http://www.soccer.com/guide/shin-guard-guide/ Hope this helps. Size is relative, It depends on how much coverage she/you want.

I bought the M Size, It could be done however it wont cover all the shin guard. Maybe with the Large Size. I am a 10.5 U.S foot size and fits perfect.

My son is a similar size- but runs on the slendor size- only about 70 lbs. plenty of room in chest protector and shin guards, but helmet runs small.

The child size one is very small, so if your 12 year old is average size I would definitely recommend the adult size.

Depends on the size of the kid really. I bought them for an 18 month old. He is 3 now and they will probably fit him, but we switched over to TLD elbow pads (xs) for knee/shin protection and G-form pads for elbow protection (xxs). The strider stuff is okay for neighborhood stuff but if you plan on riding the skate park or trails they tend to shift around during extended riding or decent falls. Oh and our little guy is about 37 lbs right now.

tricky! I wear a regular, and I am 5' 4". They go up to my knees. They are a little big and I sometimes need to re-adjust them when kicking the bag. I think this size should cover your shins and in-step no problem - unless you have those loooooong John Jones legs - then you may have to size up to a large. Good Luck!! :)

Everything has elastic bands to adjust the fit. My only concern is the shin guards maybe being to big.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would imagine you want a smaller adult size. I doubt youth shin guards are built for the abuse an adult will put on them.

My 8 year old grandson was getting 10-15 feet in 4 hours of practice. Now he can go miles. He is tall for his age as well. I think the size will work.

Body weight and height are not necessarily good in sizing yourself for shin guards. It does not address if you are a person with a large calf and thigh muscle. Nevertless, XXL would be about your size.

I'm tall and skinny so I went for a large for maximum shin coverage. I was worried my legs may be too skinny for them but they fit.

I purchased a 12 in for my 3 year old and 16 in for my 4 year old. Our eldest fit well but it was slighty to big. He fit perfect a month later as you know they grow too fast. If I put the 4 year old on the 12im his knees would have been in the handle bars. I would say go with the 16in

Shin guards are not sized for age, they are sized for the height of the individual. These shin guards do have velcro across the guard for a tighter grab when worn

My son is 12, small/thin, about 5' and under 100 lbs. He takes a youth large.

I'm a size 12 so I followed the size chart and got a Large, and they fit great. They're secure on the foot and come up to about my mid-shin.

yes. Here's what I suggest, go to a sporting store and fit one that will fit your son snug but not overly tight. ask the personnel to help if needed.
