Are these socks thin? My daughter is needed these for softball. The ones that came with her uniform are way to thick!

I agree with the two previous answers. They are "performance" thick. Thick enough not to rip or be seen through or fall down, but cool and moisture wicking.

They are not what I consider thin nor are they excessively thick. However, Mizuno makes a knee high sock that is ribbed and recommended for both volleyball and softball. It has a thinner feel and may suit your needs. Not certain of how many colors are offered.

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 wouldn't consider the socks as thin. I use them for volleyball and love them. They do have some cushioning. They work perfectly for volleyball and are currently my favorite socks. I don't, however, know about their use as softball socks.

These have an inside layer that makes them thicker. They are VERY fit! Not flimsy or thin.

Comfort-wise, they are very thin and lightweight. They wick away sweat very well but being so thin they may not have enough cushioning to be on your feet all day. They are extremely well made and will last a long time but I'm not absolutely sure they will suit your needs. I could recommend Under Armour or even Timberland socks that wick away sweat and provide a lot more thickness, so those might be more suitable for what you are looking for. :)

I am not a runner but can tell you that these socks are very for fitted. They do not slide down into the shoe. They make thinner versions for specific activities. But if you are running in cold weather these would serve well.

They are very thick, I just ordered the smaller size. Sorry I couldn't help with your question.

Compared to a white crew sock, they are a good bit thicker. COmpared to a boot sock, not so much. They do NOT come all the way to your knee... they are about the height of a crew sock... about mid calf. My husband said that they are keeping his feet very warm. WE had to invest in all this at one time which was a substantial amount for "underwear" but it's been worth every single penny. Yes, you'd be toasty on a motorcycle. The good thing about buying Amazon is if you get them and they're too thick, send them back and quickly get a refund. Hope this helps.

These socks are too thick to wear with shoes....unless maybe they were a pair of slip on shoes. It would be too bulky to pair with tennis shoes, flats, or boots.

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.

No, they are thicker for a boot. My sons are both in the military and wear then under their combat boots, they love them and say they are very comfortable.

For me, it is not too thick nor too thin. I use mine for running, I am 70 years old and they support my knees just right. I reordered another pair I liked them so well.

These socks are not super thick, i'd say medium thickness. I think they run super big! no compression whatsoever in the socks I ordered for the size i needed. shoe size 8 size M

They are not sport specific. You can use them for baseball but they are not made from that hard material that baseball socks usually are made from.

Not very thick. If the person who uses these is ambulatory, may I suggest TENA Ultimate Pad. If the person is bedridden, depends are just as thick and a great deal less expensive. Good luck

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

i would have to say yes, they might be as much as 1/8" thick. i have the same issue with my riding boots - they are already kind of snug and the socks make them hard to zip up but they are warm!

These are much thinner than my Balega socks. I thought they would be comparable, but they're really not. I wear my Balega's when running and these for other times...they're too thin for me.

No too thick. Just 2 maybe 4 depending on fabric weight. But no batting. Hope that helps
