Hi-Top Sneakers Shopping Guide
Hi-top sneakers are not just for basketball anymore. Although they had their start as an athletic shoe for elite hoops players, hi-tops grew so popular over the years that they are now seen on the feet of anyone who wants to step into comfort and style. From classic canvas Converse All-Stars to chic suede styles, from shiny, sparkly wedge-heeled versions to tiny baby hi-top booties, the variety of hi - top sneakers that is available can be overwhelming. This guide will provide information about the diverse styles of hi-top sneakers, and what to look for when buying them.
Features of Hi-Top Sneakers
The chart below illustrates the three different parts of sneakers: soles, uppers, and lacing, as well as demonstrating what kinds of options are available to the shopper.
Part of Shoe | Description |
Sole | The sole of a sneaker is comprised of three layers. The outsole, or bottom layer, is usually made of carbon rubber and has segments for flexibility and grooves for traction. The midsole has cushioning for comfort and shock absorbency. The insole, which is the part directly under the foot, offers more shock absorbency and arch support, and is often removable for washing. The soles of hi - top sneakers range from smooth loafer types to fashionable higher heels to waffle-stomping boot styles to cleats for baseball, softball, and football. |
Upper | The upper is the body of the shoe, which the part that is located above the sole. The uppers of most hi-top sneakers cover the ankle, and some reach to the mid - calf or the knee. They are usually made of either canvas or leather, and some more light-hearted styles feature spikes or embroidery or shiny materials or glitter. The toe box at the front of the upper should have enough room for the wearer to be able to wiggle their toes, and the heel counter at the back should keep the wearer's heel from slipping out of the shoe. |
Lacing | Hi-top sneakers feature laces and often include extra eyelets at the top for a snug fit over the ankle. Some include Velcro tabs at the ankle, or are completely fastened with Velcro. For hi-tops that will be worn for sports, flat laces are preferable, since they are less likely to slip and loosen. For those who are concerned with fashion sense, there are many styles of shoelaces to choose from to brighten up the look of hi-tops. |
