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, there's a single elastic strap in the middle. I use them for my leg lift machine. If used for soccer, they'd need to be under socks or something to stay put while running.

HelloMy 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.

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

Its knee long and the white strip that you see on the top is the only part which is double over. Normally you wear shin guard on skin and then cover it up with soccer socks. Inside part of decent (10-15$) Shin guard is made of comfortable soft material so it shouldn't really be a concern.

Yes! My kids wore them at the beach to protect their feet from the hot sand. We've also used them in the pool to protect feet from rough cement.

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.

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.

Secured via a single elastic strap in the middle of the shin guard. The straps work fine, I use mine all of the time without any problem. I would suggest using a little bit of medical tape around the ankle to keep them from slipping down.

Nothing can totally prevent concussions. Football helmets, Safer barriers in auto racing, etc. But these things, including this headband, can reduce the change of a concussion. A high forehead to high forehead hit in soccer (not uncommon) will be much less dangerous with this one - and even more so if both players had one on. But at the end of the day it depends on the total energy and direction of hits and while padding will absorb some of the energy, it cannot take all of it. My daughter plays soccer and I got her this after a concussion (and after being cleared to play by doc and by our own observation).

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. Dynarex Sensi Wrap, Rainbow Color, 1 Inches X 5 Yards, 30 Count

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:)

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...

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

No. They are the color of a regular cloth bandage. Like an Ace bandage that you would wrap around a sprained ankle.

They do cover the ankle, but they are SO STIFF at the ankle bend that they didn't work for my little dog. On a big dog, the animal's leg (ankle) might be heavy enough to bend the rubber at the ankle joint. I even tried to fold them and band them in half for a week to see if i could create the bend, but the rubber sole if too thick. On a big dog this could be a very good durable boot. Hope that helps!

They are very very tight, but not much ankle support. I would think a specific ankle support type thing would be better.
