Amateur kickboxing\/Muay Thai yes. Professional often requires specific certified models. Check with referee\/organizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould they be worn over or under pants?\u003c\/strong\u003e Under long training pants. Over short sparring shorts (standard Muay Thai\/kickboxing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they also protect against knee strikes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Partially. They cover the mid-to-lower shin. A direct knee strike to the upper shin (above the protection) can still be painful. For heavy MMA sparring, consider longer shin guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long do they last before losing protection?\u003c\/strong\u003e EVA retains 70-80% absorption capacity for 12-18 months of intense use. After that, replace for safety even if aesthetically intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they machine washable?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Machine washing damages the EVA padding and deforms the elastic sock.
