Are these socks thin? My daughter is needed these for softball. The ones that came with her uniform are way to thick!

I agree with the two previous answers. They are "performance" thick. Thick enough not to rip or be seen through or fall down, but cool and moisture wicking.

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.

Yes, I love these socks because they are not thick and hot! The first pair I got for my daughter to play softball in (called an all-sports socks at the athletic store) were thick and very hot. These socks are what I would call "performance" material: thick enough to provide protection from blisters, etc., but made of polyester blend the forms to the foot and is much cooler. I really like these 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.

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.

No, they are thicker for a boot. My sons are both in the military and wear then under their combat boots, they love them and say they are very comfortable.

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.

These are very small, thin socks. My daughter was not too happy with them. After you wash them, they shrink even more. So they didn't go very high on her leg, and they are quite thin. Also took about a month or more to get.

Yes they are fairly thin. I am not sure how they can call themselves 1500 thread count I have had 600 thread count with far superior quality.

Comfort-wise, they are very thin and lightweight. They wick away sweat very well but being so thin they may not have enough cushioning to be on your feet all day. They are extremely well made and will last a long time but I'm not absolutely sure they will suit your needs. I could recommend Under Armour or even Timberland socks that wick away sweat and provide a lot more thickness, so those might be more suitable for what you are looking for. :)

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.

They are pretty thick. I like them a lot. I would definitely buy them again.

Yes they are thin, make sure you order a size that provides right amount of compression

These are much thinner than my Balega socks. I thought they would be comparable, but they're really not. I wear my Balega's when running and these for other times...they're too thin for me.

I wore wool socks all the time when I was in the Army. They were mandatory at a winter combat survival course I attended. These are definitely warmer than wool and are much less scratchy. Although you may notice that they are a bit thicker than other socks due to the layering of different materials intended to hold in heat more efficiently. But that's not much of a downside in my opinion. It was -10 degrees when I left the house yesterday morning and my feet were nice and toasty all day.

I don't think they are as tall as baseball socks. My daughter wears them for basketball.

Absolutely! They aren't as thick as basketball socks though. Imagine a white crew sock w/ color and patterns on 'em. That's basically what these are, Lol

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?

Not if you are an aggressive player. My daughter is an aggressive freshman player & they didn't last one week. The material tears easily & that will expose the foam inside. I say,save your money. The only decent pair we've ever bought were Nike brand knee pads.

Yes they do. My kids like them. Our school orders these socks to go with the soccer team uniforms.
