How thick our these? The normal soccer socks to fit over shinguards are always way to thick. I am trying to find some for my kids that is thinner.

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

That's a hard question to answer because it is all relative to what other compression hose/socks you've used before.I'd say they are a little harder to put on than the low compression hose out there. Definitely not as hard as the high compression Sigvaris or Jobst stockings. I use them everyday instead of using Jobst/Sigvaris with my normaldress socks on top of that. I use these as my dress socks and "kill two birds with one stone".

I bought these socks for my 13 year-old son. I don't think they are the largest size. Generally, I am not pleased with Under-Armour quality of any of their socks for me (ladies) or kids. He just wants the name.

I haven't the slightest idea. But you Are better off finding some comfortable and durable sweats and add padding to it. The reason is that these sweats are too hot and the padding is on the wrong places and is not good padding at all. I ditched them and goal kept playing indoor soccer using nylon sweats and padded undies and volley ball knee pads and that worked very well.

I purchased the heaviest available. I'm still pretty new to the sport but with a few exceptions, it is my understanding that more experienced players will almost always go for the heavier ones.

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

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would imagine you want a smaller adult size. I doubt youth shin guards are built for the abuse an adult will put on them.

I would say the ones I have are the thinnest of all that I have tried. They have plenty of room for the toes and heel. I love them. Finally found the compression sock that I like.

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.

With socks, I would always go smaller. Socks too big can cause very uncomfortable gathering under the foot. Injinji socks are very well made and with the smaller size should fit perfectly.

Agreed, my daughter (age 4) wears a size 10 soccer shoe and the 4-6 gives her some extra room. Probably a couple of shoe sizes. The socks are by age range and as far as I can tell, they seem pretty true to size.

Idk but I doubt that the shin guard would be big enough. For kids it is 4 in long. For kids it fits about 3 shoe sizes so maybe the same for adult.

No, these are not very thick. They are the most comfortable socks ever but wear out very quickly. I have a 100 UA items and these don't meet their normal wear standards.

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.

Not to be evasive, but there are different thicknesses of men's dress socks. I would not say that these socks are "thin," like a formal over-the-calf dress sock, but they are about the same thickness as a Gold Toe brand "fluffy" sock that my husband wears often. Those "fluffies" socks are mid calf socks, very soft. If you can find these Gold Toe socks in a store near you, that will help you understand the thickness of the Underarmour Heatgear socks. They are definitely a more casual sock. Hope this helps a bit.

Yes, I love these socks because they are not thick and hot! The first pair I got for my daughter to play softball in (called an all-sports socks at the athletic store) were thick and very hot. These socks are what I would call "performance" material: thick enough to provide protection from blisters, etc., but made of polyester blend the forms to the foot and is much cooler. I really like these socks!

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.
