I totally wore shin pads for park kick arounds.
Obviously league games and tourneys are played harder, but you can still get hurt in throw ins even if everyone is careful. Nature of the game. The game is changing and people are getting faster and harder.
+1 to Gabes. I bought padding after every decent knock I took, with the exception of the cage, because I don't want to take that chance.
