Women's High Top Sneakers

Less than the shape suggests. Controlled work in basketball, including a randomised trial of over 600 players, found no meaningful difference in sprain rates between high and low tops, and some studies indicate a high collar can slow the muscles that catch a rolling ankle. What a padded collar does reliably is limit range of motion slightly and stop the shoe rubbing. For genuine support, tape or a brace does the job that footwear does not.

Skip the top pair of eyelets. Lacing to the second-from-top row leaves the collar free to flex forward and takes most of the pressure off the front of the ankle, which is where a new pair bites. Keep the lower rows firm so the midfoot is held, then loosen progressively upward rather than pulling everything tight at once. If the heel still lifts, run a lace lock through the highest row you are actually using rather than going back to the top.
