How tall are these socks? Could they be worn over shin guards for soccer?

My son is 5'2" and they come to the middle of his shin. The large ones, so I don't think so.

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

5'9 is probably too tall. Bought these for my niece, she's 11 and only 5'1.

Shouldn't be a problem The length of the "padded" part is about 9.5", allowing for the bend around the ankle, it will fit. The Velcro will cinch right up to the edge of the padded part. FWIW, I usually put it on under my sock because I find it is not necessarily comfortable if I snug it tight enough not to ride up and down my shin. As far as the earlier comment on bulky; it is padded, so a little bulky, less bulk, more discomfort. It is a trade off. That is another advantage of putting it under a (black) sock. It really doesn't profile.

She might be a bit tall. The gear is little large for my 8 year old son. But at 5'5 there may be an issue with the shin guard not fitting correctly from the knee to the ankle.

My son is 7 and about 4ft, bought him the x-large. They are a bit large on him compared to what other kids on his team wear, so they might be ok for your son. It's a shame the sizing is so vague with these things :/

These are thick cotton, but they fit comfortably over shinguards..very good quality.

The top of these socks come up to my husband's middle calf. He is 6'1" tall and has medium-large muscular calves. A person shorter or thinner may find the socks come further up the calf. Fyi, he loves these socks.

I am 6' 0" 165 lbs , I ordered the Large, they are small, but they work great. i dont know a ton about soccer, but my friend who plays college soccer tells me that they are supposed to be small and short like they are. They go to about the middle of my shin. they fit, there is nothing wrong with them, i would order the same thing and the same size again. i would get at least a size large though if i were you, or maybe extra large if you want them a little bigger.

Its knee long and the white strip that you see on the top is the only part which is double over. Normally you wear shin guard on skin and then cover it up with soccer socks. Inside part of decent (10-15$) Shin guard is made of comfortable soft material so it shouldn't really be a concern.

yes, they fit most 10-12 year olds. I used them for an 11 year old soccer team

In my opinion, they would work fine in soccer cleats. I wear min with socks and wear athletic shoes.

Measure the size of the shin pads with respect to His shin length. The measurement is from just below the knee cap to the ankle bone. In his case it would be a smallS - 13" or belowM - 14"L - 15"XL - 16" or above

I can't give you an exact measurement as I am not home right now but if I had to guess about an inch. It's thick enough that when I drag 600 lbs over them it doesn't destroy my shins

They are knee length. My 9YO daughter has them over her shin guards and stills is able to fold them over an inch. She's tall for her age.

Depends on your playing style. I'm 5'10 and they are perfect. I would say they will be a little short but not much.
