How thick our these? The normal soccer socks to fit over shinguards are always way to thick. I am trying to find some for my kids that is thinner.

These are thick cotton, but they fit comfortably over shinguards..very good quality.

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.

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.

the ones I got and had to return ran very small for their size. I would say go up one or even two sizes... but they also run more toward lean kid... if got any kinda size that's not thin, you might have a problem... going up in size to fit body will prob make legs long....

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...

These socks are too thick to wear with shoes....unless maybe they were a pair of slip on shoes. It would be too bulky to pair with tennis shoes, flats, or boots.

I would say the ones I have are the thinnest of all that I have tried. They have plenty of room for the toes and heel. I love them. Finally found the compression sock that I like.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

I've never used Injinji liner socks but these socks sold here are pretty thin. If you're planning to wear 2 pairs of toes socks it might be tight on your toes and might be an issue if you have the Vibram shoes. Depending on the type their might not be enough room for toes in the Vibram shoes with 2 pairs of regular socks. But that being said if you wanted to wear these under non-toe socks and regular type boots then yes it should be fine.

They have youth size shin guards. You can look them up on the Dick's sporting goods or Sports Authority website(s). I'd suggest a youth small.

Hi Andrea, If swelling of the ankles is a problem, you might want to give these a pass. The entire sock fits snugly. I don't find that the top is any tighter than the rest of the sock; the whole sock, however, is snug. My husband, found them a bit too close-fitting for his comfort. Hope this info is useful to you. If there are further questions, ask away.

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.

Mine measure at .5" thick. We use ours over a hardwood floor in a 10' by 12' area. It's been great! We have young children in our home and have used different brand mats in the past and these are by far the most resilient. They are also a great cushion for when we want to stretch out or exercise. I imagine they would do very well in a tent with a sturdy canvas type floor. I know someone who has used them for that purpose and under their air mattress, as well. They were pleased. I would caution against getting them wet. A little moisture is easy to clean up but you wouldn't want any type of foam flooring to get soaked. Mine measure at .5" thick.

These are thicker than Jobst, but still is a compression sock that really isn't for the purpose of keeping your feet warm.. Why not put heavy sock over?

Hello! These are for children. These did not work for us though. They are too bulky for my girls and the velcro straps are uncomfortable. Plus ours fell apart after wearing only a handful of times. We are going with ASICS Unisex Volleyball Slider Knee Pads - Junior Youth, Pair & Padded Arm Sleeves (1 Pair) Men, Women & Youth Compression Basketball Shooter Sleeve - Offers Best Elbow Warmers & Forearm Protection for Football, Running, Volleyball & Athletic Contact Sports. Granted these don't have the hard outer shell but at least my girls will use them & they'll be protected from falls! Happy Shopping:) Hello! These are for children. These did not work for us though.

No these were not thin. They also were very rough. Instead of returning them via Amazons preferred service and getting a credit I donated them to charity. Don`t buy these socks. I rate them "F".
