I'm just under 5' 9" and I am wearing 14". You'll most likely need 14 or 15" depending on whether you go tongues in or out.

The CCM U+ and Bauer Supreme lines are both narrow shins but look into entry or mid level pads for less bulk. Of the two I prefer the Supreme line because of the strap design. The top strap goes on the front instead of the back so the velcro doesn't rub on the back of your leg and you get a snugger fit.
