No problem, before you buy any over the knee greaves, measure the height from the top of your foot to the top of your knee. Keep in mind whatever this measurement is, you want your greaves to be about the same size. You certainly don't want a greave that is too tall for you, nor one that is too short.
Joe told me he has a pair and they are 19" so that's something to keep in mind. They are a decent sum of money that could be put into a brass set later. But it depends on how far you want to go with reenactment. Many groups would not be very keen on having plastic parts, but then again Greek Reenactment groups are far and few between. Whatever you do, don't buy these if you know you you would rather have a brass/bronze, or you'll end up spending more money in the long run. Keep us posted on your linothorax and Greek impression, I still have to start customizing mine
