Is the sock long enough to double over? Would like to have the sock on the skin then place the shin guard over that and have the sock come back over.

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.

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.

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.

Only tried it once, and it did go well. What you really need is a rigid form that will expand the sock, and allow your foot to slip in. THAT is what you need.

Put your sock fully on the plastic portion with the heel underneath the plastic away from the open side. Put the plastic part on he ground while holding the 2 grips. Put the plastic part directly in front of your foot. While holding the 2 grips, Put your foot into the plastic portion that will be holding your sock. Slowly pull the 2 handrails slowly and your sock will slide onto your foot. Its best to use the sock aid when your foot is completely dry or powder your foot. Once the sock slips on the foot, pull the 2 grips upward toward your head and hopefully your sock will slide up around your ankle. It may seam confusing at once but you will get it and when you do it is a great help.. Put your sock fully on the plastic portion with the heel underneath the plastic away from the open side.

I have good use of the left hand, not so good with the right. I grip the sock aid at the tips with my good hand, collapsing them flatly against one another. With my bad hand I begin to slip the sock over the tips, sometimes using my teeth. Once the sock covers the tips I am able to slip my foot in, pull it through and work it down. It works OK. So far I have found nothing better!

I measured w a ruler and the size I ordered (youth) and the shin guard itself (excluding foot strap) is about just shy of 8inches long.

Well I am 5'10" and medium fits me just right so small should work. To answer your second question no you do not; you place the shin pads then pull the provided sleeve over it which secures it nicely in place. The fabric for the sleeve is very thin so it might rip on contact if not covered by a sock. Hope I helped.

I would say you can, I wear it with my high top sneakers while playing ball. It was a matter of breaking it in and after that you forget it's there. I would imagine your boots have been broken in so that'll alleviate that part. I would recommend wearing the brace and boots around the house to get things going. It is a thin brace with great support, I would suggest you go with this over any other brand as I did my homework and shopped around. Good luck!

My calf size is 16.5 and the socks fit perfectly. I can insert the shinguards without a problem (this are ~ 3/4 thick shinguards). I hope this answers your concern.

All things done to excess are at the very least questionable. If you are having to wear them that long, socks ain't gonna help ya. You might want to consult you physician.

I'm the old school, specially with the kids. I'd go one size over to accommodate the socks (socks, because I would say wear double to be able to have the blades tight enough without hurting too much; if not tight enough, the foot is loose and will get blisters). And also, in no time, his foot will be larger...

I do not use the bunion guard.I found it uncomfortable to wear.I bought what the dancers wear to protect their toes when they are toe dancing.It covers the bunion area if I pull it to the side.

They don't have actual measurement-based sizing, unfortunately. The Small/Medium and Medium/Large size specs are all we have to work with. That being said, there is a review that conveys an opinion/advice that any calf circumference of 15" or more should be paired with a Medium/Large sleeve. I happen to have ordered the Medium/Large size without measuring anything, and I struggle a little to get the sleeve on and in place (which might simply be the 'nature of the beast', given what it's supposed to do), but it works extremely well, and is the only thing in my experience to prevent the shin splints I was otherwise plagued with and practically guaranteed to 'get'. I just measured my calf circumference, and it's ~14.5" -- so although mine is less than 15", a Medium/Large is what I needed, and it works well enough to do the job, but is tight enough when trying to get it on to make me wonder whether I ordered too small a size -- but once in place, it's fine, and it's not too tight (feel-wise), and doesn't hurt, etc. -- it just works like a charm.

My son is 5'2" and they come to the middle of his shin. The large ones, so I don't think so.

tricky! I wear a regular, and I am 5' 4". They go up to my knees. They are a little big and I sometimes need to re-adjust them when kicking the bag. I think this size should cover your shins and in-step no problem - unless you have those loooooong John Jones legs - then you may have to size up to a large. Good Luck!! :)

I think it has a lot to do with the size of your foot. My friend has a small foot and ankle. She says just slides the sock on and sticks he foot in and pulls the rope and her sock is on. "really slick". As for taking the sock off, no this doesn't do that. Your best bet for aid with that would be to insert a long shoe horn in the top of the sock and push it off that way. Or perhaps the long handled grabbers.

Yes!I asked the same question when I bought them!It appears like one, because they put one directly on top of the other one in the packaging. I received two shin guards :)

I wish I would have worn mine full-time. Physical Therapy said not to. This is over a year later and the sprain has not healed. At least wear it when you sleep.
