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.

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.

I am the equipment manager for our soccer association, so I did not use them personally. They are small...used for u10 and under. They were not large enough for our Senior teams or even u13 for that matter. They seemed to hold up pretty well though.

I can't say if it will solve your problem (although I've heard compression sleeves work for Shin Splints), but I doubt it will be too much compression (assuming you get the sizing right). I thought the compression was on the light side.

It's really thick. Probably would not fit well under shin pads. It's not very comfortable and doesn't give u good mobility when it comes to something like that

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.

Body weight and height are not necessarily good in sizing yourself for shin guards. It does not address if you are a person with a large calf and thigh muscle. Nevertless, XXL would be about your size.

They are a bit thicker than a normal sock. Wouldn't so much say they are great for for winter.

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...

The shin guard is about 10 inches. It is held on by a Velcro strap on the back. It is not super secure. However, with the socks that will hold them. If you don't plan to use the socks then I wouldn't get these. There is only one strap and it's not super secure.

These would be the uniform socks. If you have to wear a specific color, you need the shin guards that strap onto the legs. There's a pocket inside these socks that the guards fit inside.

They do NOT have that extra, annoying, elastic banding at the top that other socks do. My husband wears a size 15 EEEEE shoe and was a football player. These socks are very comfortable. He can wear them all day and sometimes he even wears them at night if it is cold. I highly recommend them. They are well worth the money. After I bought his first three pair, I ordered additional 9 pairs so that he never has to wear horrible socks again. The fact they come in different colors is a bonus!

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.

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.

Hi James. I never had this problem. Give it another try. You can also go to a local sports store and they should have these. Hope this helps.

The sock length is fine, but the size of the foot will probably be to big for her. My son had a size 9, and the foot even with soccer shin guards on was to big and caused bunching. - Hope this helps

I'd say it would be about 50% thicker than your average pair of athletic socks, except on the bottom where I'd say it's about double the thickness and maybe even a little more. If you're concerned about shoe fit with these, if the shoe is snug in normal socks, it will be a mite tight. I've never had a problem with hiking boots or athletic shoes such as you might find in Merrell's or Keen's inventories. But I can't wear them with my cowboy boots.
