When I was in high school 30 years ago I switched to low top cross trainer sneakers (Bo Jackson was big then) because high tops seemed to cause me sprained ankles constantly. High tops never gave me any stability, and in my opinion acted as a lever on my ankle, the way you'd put something tall under a long board if you wanted to step on it and snap it in half. With low tops, my ankle would bend/roll naturally and though it might hurt, it didn't sprain my tendon. I've always assumed my ankles were just weird.
