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.

I could depending on the skill level of your soccer player. Probably not to well for a younger player due to the smaller size of the net

I'm 5'7" with an inseam of 30", these tights hit just above my ankle. I would guess it would depend on where you want them to hit and your inseam length.Love these tights. I play racquetball in them and they never slip or bag.

I don't think they are as tall as baseball socks. My daughter wears them for basketball.

They should work. I'm 5'5 and I pulled them up high this past weekend (as a matter of fact), and it was just across the middle of my knee cap. Normally I wear them just under the knee like any standard knee high sock. Hope this helps.

Children's I think. I bought them for my small 9 year old and she wears them nonstop. Although she doesn't wear them without shin guards, so I think they would fit an adult with skinny shins.

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.

The shin guard only covers the front of the shin. There is no ankle protection all the way around the sock, if that's what you're referring to.

I measured w a ruler and the size I ordered (youth) and the shin guard itself (excluding foot strap) is about just shy of 8inches long.

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

These would be the uniform socks. If you have to wear a specific color, you need the shin guards that strap onto the legs. There's a pocket inside these socks that the guards fit inside.

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

Edwin, First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer. These were originally ordered for my husband, and were to small for him. I am female, stand about 6'. These are knee socks and in the large size, tight on my calves - enough so that I have had bruises. The compression is somewhat gradual up the sock but still quite tight at the top. Hope this helps.

I'd go for "large", just enough to protect the whole shin. Enough room for ankle braces / wraps (recommend for extra protection ligaments / tendances, bones, tenderness) on footing of the elastic bands. Be safe, have fun. Remember, kicking with the top of the foot. Talk instructor, or research types of kicks on YouTube.

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

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.
