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.

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.

These are a knee-high sock with removable shin guards. Can wear just the sock or the sock with the guard installed.

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.

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.

I bought these socks for my 13 year-old son. I don't think they are the largest size. Generally, I am not pleased with Under-Armour quality of any of their socks for me (ladies) or kids. He just wants the name.

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.

It might if you are short enough, for me it goes over the knee far enough to fold over if you look at the picture, that's how a large fits me, it would be folded over just below the knee and maybe a 5 or 6 inch fold, but not long enough to cover shin guards. Maybe you should wear a regular pair of socks under the shin guard and then put this one over it.

5'9 is probably too tall. Bought these for my niece, she's 11 and only 5'1.

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.

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.

I bought the M Size, It could be done however it wont cover all the shin guard. Maybe with the Large Size. I am a 10.5 U.S foot size and fits perfect.

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

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.

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...

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would imagine you want a smaller adult size. I doubt youth shin guards are built for the abuse an adult will put on them.
