Looking to buy longer knee/shin guards that will actually fit down into my boots and not keep catching on the top of the boot going from seated to standing

Being 6'3" most standard guards are on the short side....never understood why manufactures always think that larger sizes translates into short and fat....also never understood why larger boot sizes would not add length to the over boot?

Any way anyone have suggestions or have these listed below and can provide a length measurement? Looking at the following

- EVS TP199 Knee Guards
- Leatt 2020 EXT Knee & Shin Guards
- Fox Racing 2020 Titan Pro Knee / Shin Guards

Maybe look at a set of knee braces.

I have short legs (30” inseam) and the TP199’s come down to about 3”above my ankle.
