I've never worn goalie leg pads before. If I pick up a cheap pair will they stay positioned while I shut down my family during driveway hockey?

I'm 5'9", is there a general size I should be looking for? Thanks.

There's a lot that goes into regular sizing. Toe ties on, skate size, ankle to knee height, thigh rise, etc. If you're going to be in street shoes just messing around, just make sure your knee is centered in the knee block. Rough guess is around 33" +1 or 2 if you want more thigh rise.

Sorry, late to the party...yeah A CCM/RBK 33" is not the same as a Vaughn 33" as an example....The old Vaughns used to shrink.....
