Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4899966, member: 173"] The decision to wear high or low top sneakers often comes down to the individual preference - there has not been any significant research that supports the use of one or the other. There is enough evidence which can be used to support either position that advocates of either position are really good at cherry picking the studies that support their preferences to try to claim theirs is clearly superior. If you were wearing high top sneakers during your multiple ankle injuries, I’m not sure that’s great evidence for how much better high top sneakers are for avoiding ankle injuries as well. I severely sprained my ankle in college and was taping my ankles and wearing high top footwear afterwards because limiting the range of motion of the ankle dramatically reduced pain - I’m not going to pretend that’s conclusive evidence but led me to feel the greatest benefit of high tops was in recovery, not in avoiding injury.
