Do these have any ankle protection? something more than elastic banded material? my daughter keeps getting kicked in the ankle area during soccer ga

My nephew;s didn't have any protection. They stopped below his knees by several inches and fit just above his ankles.

yeah they do have small ankle protection, i wouldn't say a lot, but a little

It does have an extra padding around the ankle area. It is not really big so care would have to be taken to position properly.

They have a padded elastic ankle protector with hard discs about large silver dollar size built in to protect the outer ankle joint.

I can't say. It really depends on ankle size. We test filltwd our 12 year old at sporting goods store first then ordered on-line due to lower cost.

I bought them for my sister since she also plays volleyball, although I've yet to see her wear one to a game. The bottom is a stretch material. The top isn't really hard but the material is different than the bottom so I'm not sure if they would be allowed to wear them. I can ask my sister and follow up with you. Until then I hope this helps.

Yes, They also work great for football cleats too. I haven't had any ankle issues. Not to bulky.

Everything has elastic bands to adjust the fit. My only concern is the shin guards maybe being to big.

Yes- the skates have a hard toe and good ankle protection, even for a goalie.

I can only base off what my daughters have said. They have a pretty stiff upper ankle and do seem to provide great support. They are not like the old fashioned floppy white figure skates. Probably not as good as a hockey type skate but what it lacks in support makes up for in comfort.

they go down to my 18 mo's ankles, but they are just short enough so they don't drag on the ground and my daughter doesn't trip on them or step on them. and they go to my 3 y/o's lower shin.

Especially if you have hand weakness or bad ankles, use short socks and stretchy material. Too long without curve for ankle to bend to get on leg. Best if sock only to ankle at most. There are assisting hooks to help pull up and down socks which I am looking into. this is not of use with calf length socks by itself with swollen bruised feet and ankles from a bad fall.

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

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

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 have a girl with recurring ankle sprains who is very active in sports. Since she started wearing the brace during sports.....no more ankle sprains. She plays soccer , basketball, and softball, so there are a lot quick movements and pivots. Very happy. I also recommended this brace to a friend whose son had a prior ankle fracture and she has had similar success. Hope this helps.

Hi Becky, checked with my daughter. No, they do not stay in place. She said they are too thick and too small and move around. She is going back to the other ones we got her. Thanks, Susan

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 will. The elastic rubber band will wrap around your ankles and you will have plastic bags surrounding your feet

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.
