The women's high-top is a shoe that extends slightly over the wearer's ankle. It is commonly an athletic shoe, particularly for basketball.  This type of shoe is commonly referred to as a women's high-top sneaker.

• Sneakers (also called athletic shoes, tennis shoes, gym shoes, sport shoes, runners, or trainers) are shoes primarily designed for sports or other forms of physical exercise, but which are now also widely used for everyday wear.

High-tops are sometimes confused with the slightly shorter mid-top, which typically extends no higher than the wearer's ankle.  Mid-cut sneakers are in-between high-tops and low-tops.

The following shoes are women's high top sneakers but they may not actually be appropriate for basketball.  For example, the Converse sneakers at the top left (image below), may not have enough support.  Be careful to distinguish between "fashion" high tops and actual basketball appropriate high top sneakers.

Although high-tops typically refers to sneakers, High-tops can sometimes refer to ankle boots or other above-ankle shoes such as some hiking boots.
