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.

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...

I don't think they would fit over the of the average calf with a mx boot on. I would say most mx boots offer good shin protection and would work well a smaller knee pad but are way to restrictive for mountain biking which these are built for.

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.

The socks are on the long side. My daughter is nine and above average hieght. She wears a size 4 shoe. The socks reach above her knee when pulled up all the way. She folds them down over her shin guards. The entire team wears them and the seem to all fold them down. Hope this helps.

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.

No reason at all. I bought mine for two soccer teams. Age group range from 8 years old to 16 years old and they have held up. They are of good quality. I would highly recommend.

5'9 is probably too tall. Bought these for my niece, she's 11 and only 5'1.

Perfect for soccer, May not be big enough for football kicking. There is an 8' net for golf that would give you great usability.

Your better option would be for soccer socks or larger tube socks. They stretch okay but fit more slim and are thicker than regular socks.

The socks are only about 3 inches high--just over the ankles. They also have a tread pattern on the bottom. So I think they may be of limited use for your purpose although, happily, I don't have any experience with fire ants!

yes, they fit most 10-12 year olds. I used them for an 11 year old soccer team

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.

I order this for my 10 year old son, hes 4'8" and 80lbs and fits him just right. It falls to his mid shin so it might be short and snug for someone tall and fit

I'm short, but I don't know if that makes a difference. The socks fit me about 3 inches above the top of my ankle. They are not binding, yet stay up quite well.

I'm 5'6" and about 130 pounds. There is more than enough sox to cover you leg to the knee. These are not really tight, so for travel they are OK, but if your legs and/or ankles swell they won't be tight enough to help much.

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.
