Men's High Top Sneakers

They feel more secure, and a padded collar does limit how far the ankle rolls, but studies over several decades have not found a statistically significant reduction in ankle sprains from high tops on their own. Most of the stability people notice comes from lacing the top eyelets properly, from midsole firmness and from a heel counter that holds the foot down. Choose the height for warmth, structure and how you want the shoe to look.

Lace the lower eyelets normally and leave a little slack across the instep, which is where pressure builds fastest, then tighten only the top two rows, since that is where the shoe actually needs to hold. A lace lock, made by feeding each lace through the loop formed on the opposite side at the top eyelet, holds the heel down without needing the whole shoe tight. If the top edge digs into your ankle bone, skip that eyelet altogether and tie off one row lower.
