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 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.

She might be a bit tall. The gear is little large for my 8 year old son. But at 5'5 there may be an issue with the shin guard not fitting correctly from the knee to the ankle.

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

The top of these socks come up to my husband's middle calf. He is 6'1" tall and has medium-large muscular calves. A person shorter or thinner may find the socks come further up the calf. Fyi, he loves these socks.

Not sure what size you mean, but these socks are shorter than my basket doesn't really work as well as I need to put a rock in it to keep it from floating

Yes they are a generous knee high length. The picture is very deceiving. I am 5'6 and have muscular calves and they are perfect. Love these socks!!

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.

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.

I've never played soccer. I do a lot of jiu jitsu and they work great. I will recommend not putting them into a dryer, as the heat will break them down. They air dry very quickly.

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.

They would work well for the shins and ankles, but would leave a large portion of the top of the foot exposed.

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.

Body weight and height are not necessarily good in sizing yourself for shin guards. It does not address if you are a person with a large calf and thigh muscle. Nevertless, XXL would be about your size.

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.

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