High-top
The high-top is a shoe that extends slightly over the wearer's ankle. It is commonly used for sports, particularly basketball. It is sometimes confused with the slightly shorter mid-top, which typically extends no higher than the wearer's ankle. High-tops also should not be confused with shorter-length boots such as ankle boots, since high-tops usually refer to athletic shoes, although can also refer to other above-ankle shoes such as some hiking boots. Some dress and casual shoes may also be high-tops.
Converse All-Stars, Air Jordans, Nike Air Forces [1, 2, and 3], Reebok Freestyle, Reebok BB4600, Nike [Air Yeezy] and Fila Foggia Hi LTD are examples of high top sneakers. Others include skateboarding sneakers, such as the Vans Vault Hi Fi LX. High-tops are supportive to the wearer's ankles and are useful to those with hypermobility and fallen arches.
