Thehigh-top is ashoe that extends slightly over the wearer'sankle. It is commonly used forsports, particularlybasketball. It is sometimes confused with the slightly shorter mid-top, which typically extends no higher than the wearer's ankle. High-tops also should not be confused with shorter-length boots such asankle boots, since high-tops usually refer toathletic shoes, although can also refer to other above-ankle shoes such as somehiking boots. Somedress and casual shoes may also be high-tops.
