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.

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.

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.

Depends on your playing style. I'm 5'10 and they are perfect. I would say they will be a little short but not much.

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.

They are one size fits all pretty much... They should look fine might just go up a little higher on the leg. Enjoy!

Edwin, First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer. These were originally ordered for my husband, and were to small for him. I am female, stand about 6'. These are knee socks and in the large size, tight on my calves - enough so that I have had bruises. The compression is somewhat gradual up the sock but still quite tight at the top. Hope this helps.

They should work. I'm 5'5 and I pulled them up high this past weekend (as a matter of fact), and it was just across the middle of my knee cap. Normally I wear them just under the knee like any standard knee high sock. Hope this helps.

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

Measure the size of the shin pads with respect to His shin length. The measurement is from just below the knee cap to the ankle bone. In his case it would be a smallS - 13" or belowM - 14"L - 15"XL - 16" or above

I believe so. I use 2 of these with my 9yo who plays on a Travel soccer team. Everyone who has used them (one player's grandmother) has found them comfortable. And coffee cup holder (that is what it is for) do not turn over - they are fixed in place. I am 6'2" with long legs, so cannot answer with absolute certainty.

My son wears them over his socks in his football cleats to stop the blisters, and for ankle protection.

I could depending on the skill level of your soccer player. Probably not to well for a younger player due to the smaller size of the net

Shouldn't be a problem The length of the "padded" part is about 9.5", allowing for the bend around the ankle, it will fit. The Velcro will cinch right up to the edge of the padded part. FWIW, I usually put it on under my sock because I find it is not necessarily comfortable if I snug it tight enough not to ride up and down my shin. As far as the earlier comment on bulky; it is padded, so a little bulky, less bulk, more discomfort. It is a trade off. That is another advantage of putting it under a (black) sock. It really doesn't profile.

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.

my daughter is five foot tall and LOVES these guards. They run a little small so they should fit your son just fine. Good quality so that should last a while.

Yes, but they would look funky, bulky, and, frankly, unprofessional. I would try soccer shin guards. Nobody would even notice you have them on with good protection. I took at line drive to the shin during an open class softball game last season so I get the want for them. I still have a lump from it. I wore soccer shin guards the rest of the year, both plate and bases, for slow pitch.
