High Tops Frequently Asked Questions

What do you wear with high-top sneakers?

High top sneakers can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, your mood and the specific style of your sneakers. High tops and jeans are a classic pairing — opt for slim-fit or straight-leg styles to balance the bulk of the shoes. Elevate your look with chinos for a smart-casual vibe. Shorts can work well in warm weather, but choose fitted or cuffed styles to avoid overwhelming your proportions. You can also pair high tops with mini skirts, midi skirts or even flowy maxi dresses.

Are high-top shoes good for running?

High top running shoes can provide extra support and stability for your ankles, especially if you're prone to rolling them. This can be helpful on uneven terrain, for runners with weak ankles or for those just starting out. Higher tops can help keep out debris like dirt, rocks and water if you go trail running or run in wet conditions. On the minus side, high tops tend to be heavier and less flexible than low-top shoes, which can limit your range of motion and make your feet feel restricted.

What's the purpose of high top sneakers?

High top sneakers are great for two things: support and style. On high top running shoes, the extended collar wraps around your ankle, offering potential stability and protection. This is especially useful in sports like basketball or for people with ankle issues. However, their iconic look transcends function, making them a versatile fashion staple that's easy to dress up or down.
