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.

Yes. The heel and ball of the foot are both exposed. There's an elastic strap that crosses the arch of your foot on the bottom. I'm pretty sure that unless you have flat feet, that strap never actually touches the ground.It doesn't slow down or impede any of my spinning movements. Spinning hook kicks are no problem. So far, I'm loving these things.

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

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

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.

Yes my daughter plays competitive soccer and wears her head protection at all games and practices for that matter since sustaining a concussion. Never a problem.

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

I can't say for sure but I can say that my daughter wears hers for indoor and outdoor skating. I will say also, that for my daughter, they really do take a beating during the 2 indoor practices each week and during the roller derby bouts as well. She uses them more on wooden floors but she has also used them on concrete, asphalt and sport court flooring. They're affordable and durable, at least they have been for us :)

Separately. Let me add that son has worn these through half of HS varsity football season and all of basketball. I ordered them after he rolled his ankle during a football game. They've really helped stabilize his ankles. Money very well spent!

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.

They should work fine in Football cleats. My daughter wears hers for Basketball, Volleyball and soccer.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure since they have graduated compression. There is more in the foot and ankle.

I use sensi pink self adhere wrap around the ankles. It keeps them from twisting or falling off. Just be careful not to wrap it too tight. I buy the sensi wrap here on Amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NHB4BY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
