The best high-top sneakers come from various brands like Converse, Nike, Veja, and more. Most come with customizable colors and designs that give the shoes your spin on them. And, if you’re looking for more budget-friendly options, you can always head to Target and add a pair to your cart for only $35. But first things first. Keep in mind that comfort is key when shopping for a new pair. Many high-top shoes rub against the heel, causing blisters due to their high design in the back. Also, check out the materials the shoes are crafted with. You want to purchase something durable, so opt for ones with leather or tough canvas. Lastly, keep color in mind. Some brands stay on the neutral side, and others have a multitude of colors. Ahead, see the best pairs of high-top sneakers.
