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 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.

Check out the link to revgear's site: http://www.revgear.com/product/defender-gel-shin/shin_guardsUnder the image there is a link that says "size chart" on there it says XS for 11.5" shin, and S for 12.5". I recommend the Small, as he is a growing lad :-)I hope that helped. Osu!

Well sure, soccer players run in them all the time! If you are trying to use them as an inexpensive compression sock, no they wont work. They are snug but they do stretch too much. I wear a compression sleeve under these socks when I play soccer.

I am 5'10" and they go up just below the knee cap on me. However, they do hold well and you could probably push them down and position them whatever height you want. It's a decent high sock with a cool design.

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.

Secured via a single elastic strap in the middle of the shin guard. The straps work fine, I use mine all of the time without any problem. I would suggest using a little bit of medical tape around the ankle to keep them from slipping down.

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.

Volleyball or other "normal" pads are only somewhat effective for soccer. I wear a pair of 661 mountain biking knee pads. Very thick so lots of protection but the problem is that they move on the initial impact be it diving for a save or falling off my bike. I'm picking up a pair of these to wear UNDER my pads so that the big pad will take the fall and when it slips or moves this "base layer pad" will hopefully stay securely in place and absorb any additional impacts or sliding. The only question is since these were designed for basketball and a smooth court will the material holdup to the "grass" I play on which is very rough and unforgiving. We'll see...

My son wears them over his socks in his football cleats to stop the blisters, and for ankle protection.

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.

Size is relative, It depends on how much coverage she/you want. I bought the XL for my son and at 6'1" it barely covered his shin, in my opinion, but then I don't let him play with out his entire shin being covered because as a goalie he consistently gotten cleated just under the knee. Before picking a size ask what position she'll be playing and how much shin coverage she wants (some kids don't want any) and pick a shin guard size with that in mind. FYI The actual guard part of the XL size for these is just over 8 inches and I believe the sizing chart says it's supposed to fit people 6'2"-6'5". Here's a link to their size chart. http://www.soccer.com/guide/shin-guard-guide/ Hope this helps. Size is relative, It depends on how much coverage she/you want.

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.
