Yes, many professional soccer players wear shin guards. You can see these guards during the soccer games on television, and they are often worn under the socks.
Shin guards are worn under soccer socks because the socks keep the shin guards in place, right in front of the shins. If the shin guards were worn on top of the socks all shin guards without straps would not remain on and even those that have straps that go around the back of the leg will not keep the shin guards in place.
