High-top sneakers are a type of athletic footwear that cover the ankle bone and extend upward towards the calf. They are often made with durable materials such as leather, canvas, or synthetic fabrics, and feature a sturdy sole for support and stability. They offered extra protection to the ankle during games. Today, high-top sneakers are worn by people of all ages and can be found in a variety of styles and colors. Some high-top sneakers have laces that extend all the way up the shaft of the shoe, while others have a Velcrostrap or buckle that fastens around the ankle.
