My nephew;s didn't have any protection. They stopped below his knees by several inches and fit just above his ankles.

yeah they do have small ankle protection, i wouldn't say a lot, but a little

It does have an extra padding around the ankle area. It is not really big so care would have to be taken to position properly.

They have a padded elastic ankle protector with hard discs about large silver dollar size built in to protect the outer ankle joint.

Separately. Let me add that son has worn these through half of HS varsity football season and all of basketball. I ordered them after he rolled his ankle during a football game. They've really helped stabilize his ankles. Money very well spent!

I myself have never played soccer. This brace does have a lot of compression and definitely stabilizes my ankle through 8 to 10 hour work shifts on concrete and jumping up and down off of carts onto said concrete. It holds my ankle in place quite well and has actually given me a visual foot arch for the first time in my life. It couldn't hurt to try, I like it a lot better than the other brands with the heel openings, this one fits more like a sock but still provides adequate compression.

NO, its makes your leg stiff for protection but can be difficult to run in, I used it to play football, ended up taking them off because of the tightness and immobility it caused. Your better off purchasing a 2nd degree or 1st degree wrap if you want run in them. This is for 3rd degree ankle sprains. Don't get me wrong though there strong and great for it your not doing any physical activity and provide great protection for until you get back to 100%. Best of Luck.

It depend on how severe the foot drop is. My sons was pretty bad so the Velcro bands only worked for short time. If foot drop is minimal I'd spend the money otherwise no. He never complained about them moving around though.

I can't say. It really depends on ankle size. We test filltwd our 12 year old at sporting goods store first then ordered on-line due to lower cost.

By getting another product! I wear boots sometimes in the winter and that's why I tried them, darn things fell down in seconds, hit the trash next day. So unless you like a cottony snake-like sock creeping around your ankles !!!! Hope my answer helps :)

Especially if you have hand weakness or bad ankles, use short socks and stretchy material. Too long without curve for ankle to bend to get on leg. Best if sock only to ankle at most. There are assisting hooks to help pull up and down socks which I am looking into. this is not of use with calf length socks by itself with swollen bruised feet and ankles from a bad fall.

Dear Matt.: regarding to your question, my answer is YES, these protective glasses are for soccer, baseball, basketball, and they are just great...!!

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

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.

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.

I can only base off what my daughters have said. They have a pretty stiff upper ankle and do seem to provide great support. They are not like the old fashioned floppy white figure skates. Probably not as good as a hockey type skate but what it lacks in support makes up for in comfort.

I haven't the slightest idea. But you Are better off finding some comfortable and durable sweats and add padding to it. The reason is that these sweats are too hot and the padding is on the wrong places and is not good padding at all. I ditched them and goal kept playing indoor soccer using nylon sweats and padded undies and volley ball knee pads and that worked very well.

they go down to my 18 mo's ankles, but they are just short enough so they don't drag on the ground and my daughter doesn't trip on them or step on them. and they go to my 3 y/o's lower shin.

No. My daughters have been wearing these for 5 years and love them. We tried others but these are the best. My husband also uses these and love them too.

Nothing can totally prevent concussions. Football helmets, Safer barriers in auto racing, etc. But these things, including this headband, can reduce the change of a concussion. A high forehead to high forehead hit in soccer (not uncommon) will be much less dangerous with this one - and even more so if both players had one on. But at the end of the day it depends on the total energy and direction of hits and while padding will absorb some of the energy, it cannot take all of it. My daughter plays soccer and I got her this after a concussion (and after being cleared to play by doc and by our own observation).
