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.

I would say the weave is pretty tight but also pretty thin. To me I would say these sleeves are the thickness of a dry fit t-shirt my 7th grade son uses them to protect his elbows and knees from rug burns he was getting from artificial turf he is playing football on, they have been great for that but I don't know if they are thick enough or would stand up to what you are talking about

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.

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.

We needed to order these socks for our 13 year old daughter...for basketball. She wears a size 8 women's shoe. When I ordered the socks off the site there was a drop down menu that we indicated we wanted a "medium." By the time I got to "checkout" the order indicated "OS" in the size; presumably indicating "one-size." So we weren't sure what were going to receive. As it turned out what we were shipped were "mediums" and they fit like a glove.

I bought them for my sister since she also plays volleyball, although I've yet to see her wear one to a game. The bottom is a stretch material. The top isn't really hard but the material is different than the bottom so I'm not sure if they would be allowed to wear them. I can ask my sister and follow up with you. Until then I hope this helps.

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.

They are thinner than regular socks so I would say no. They are not real rough.

Are these very thin? I would like to purchase but not sure if they're durable after washes. I don't want them to rip! :(

No, I would not call them thick. I think that's what I like about them--they're not heavy. Perfect for summer.

I am not a runner but can tell you that these socks are very for fitted. They do not slide down into the shoe. They make thinner versions for specific activities. But if you are running in cold weather these would serve well.

They are thin, so they may not last all year...my son only used them for a week...but he did say they were so soft!

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.

Certainly thicker than normal socks. Maybe half again to twice the thickness of normal heavy cotton socks. A bit thicker than Thorlo cotton socks.

They are a bit thin. I recommend something thicker for things over 400 degrees. I suppose you could double up, but that could be very dangerous if they slip.

I doubt it. I bought them for my 15 year old son's Nike's and they were to thick. I can tell you they are good quality.
