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 5'11" and these socks come up over my knees. I have to fold the tops down about one and a half inches.

Idk but I doubt that the shin guard would be big enough. For kids it is 4 in long. For kids it fits about 3 shoe sizes so maybe the same for adult.

I can't give you an exact measurement as I am not home right now but if I had to guess about an inch. It's thick enough that when I drag 600 lbs over them it doesn't destroy my shins

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.

Well I am 5'10" and medium fits me just right so small should work. To answer your second question no you do not; you place the shin pads then pull the provided sleeve over it which secures it nicely in place. The fabric for the sleeve is very thin so it might rip on contact if not covered by a sock. Hope I helped.

These are probably way too big for him. At that age, you can get integrated sock/shin guards that may be easier. Check with his league/coach.

Hi Catharine, I would say that they are flexible enough for soccer goalie. They are very comfortable and you will barely feel that you are wearing them, but you will feel protected, especially when you hit the ground. Give them a try.

I bought these socks for my 13 year-old son. I don't think they are the largest size. Generally, I am not pleased with Under-Armour quality of any of their socks for me (ladies) or kids. He just wants the name.

My son is 7 and about 4ft, bought him the x-large. They are a bit large on him compared to what other kids on his team wear, so they might be ok for your son. It's a shame the sizing is so vague with these things :/

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.

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.

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

These are a knee-high sock with removable shin guards. Can wear just the sock or the sock with the guard installed.

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.

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!
