Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2956445, member: 874"] What's interesting is that high tops give little to no more ankle support than low tops. Look at where the shoe ends. With relation to the ankle joint there is no way any normal shoe will be stable enough to prevent an ankle from rolling when a fully grown person lands on the side of somone elses foot that is stablized on the floor. The only way tomprotect the ankle in that situation is with a firm brace that goes higher up on the leg like wjat has been marketed to volleyball players. The two problems there are if you wear those all of the time the ankle will lose strength and proprioception and, in the event of a potential ankle roll, it's possible the forces could transfer up the knee and produce an injury there.
