Do these have any ankle protection? something more than elastic banded material? my daughter keeps getting kicked in the ankle area during soccer ga

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.

I put similar bands on my 2 yr old's ankle. (usually use the "Mosquitno" band, but they are much more expensive than these) Think I will try these

Hello, I just recently had the same thoughts. I skate myself and realized that most falls are small scratches that can be better protected with jeans. My daughter is 4.5 and is also learning but I plan on only using a helmet, jeans and maybe some wrist pads because I feel the wrist would most likely always be unprotected.

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

All soccer socks, including these, are meant to be worn over the shinguards. However, these are also thin.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

I have a girl with recurring ankle sprains who is very active in sports. Since she started wearing the brace during sports.....no more ankle sprains. She plays soccer , basketball, and softball, so there are a lot quick movements and pivots. Very happy. I also recommended this brace to a friend whose son had a prior ankle fracture and she has had similar success. Hope this helps.

Yes. The heel and ball of the foot are both exposed. There's an elastic strap that crosses the arch of your foot on the bottom. I'm pretty sure that unless you have flat feet, that strap never actually touches the ground. It doesn't slow down or impede any of my spinning movements. Spinning hook kicks are no problem. So far, I'm loving these things.

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.

I've never played soccer. I do a lot of jiu jitsu and they work great. I will recommend not putting them into a dryer, as the heat will break them down. They air dry very quickly.

Yes, They also work great for football cleats too. I haven't had any ankle issues. Not to bulky.

I went up one size for both my young daughters. My oldest complains hers are too tight at one size up. My other daughter says hers fit fine. Go up at least one size, two if you want them to last a bit and just put extra socks on. 3.5 might be too young for theses skates. My girls are fairly athletic at 5 & 6.5 and they can't do them yet without holding my hand the entire time and falling all over the place. Get wrist guards!! Most common injury is broken wrists! Good luck!

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.

Yes! They are made of a soft stretchy material. I bought them for my team and they are allowed to play with them on.

I wear the ankle brace under a sock. I play softball and umpire. It works great.

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