High-Top Trainers: The Best Styles for Kids

High-top trainers can be a great footwear choice for kids looking to show off their style and add some flair to their outfit. At Lelli Kelly Shop, there’s something for everyone, no matter what type of shoe you’re looking for, and this is certainly true for our high-tops selection too. 

What are high top trainers?

High top trainers are shoes which extend over the ankle. Our high tops collection includes the more typical trainer design, as well as baseball boots, which adopt a slimmer design. 

It’s important not to confuse high top trainers with mid-tops. Mid-tops don’t go any higher than the ankle, which means they provide less support than high-tops. 

High top trainers are actually widely linked to sports such as basketball, given that professional athletes often use them thanks to their additional ankle support on top of the overall balance and support they provide. 

Whilst commonly used in sports, they are also suitable for daily wear, especially given the range of styles and colours which we offer at Lelli Kelly Shop.

High top shoes are suitable both as summer trainers, or as an alternative during the colder months.  

Are high top trainers appropriate for kids?

High top trainers are appropriate for kids primarily because of the support they provide. For your kids, you need shoes which will support the feet from the base up, and include ankle support. Because high top shoes extend over and above the ankle, they will give more than enough ankle support for your young ones. 

Often, people argue that whilst high top shoes add additional ankle support, they can inhibit range of motion, especially for young people. However, at Lelli Kelly Shop, we design all our shoes with both style and development in mind. High tops from Lelli Kelly are created to offer enough support to reduce the risk of injuries, but not to impose on the proper development and movement of young feet. High tops are also flat-bottomed shoes, meaning they promote healthy foot development in children.

High tops are also an appropriate choice from a fashion perspective too. Young children are often looking for ways to express themselves as individuals and stand out from the crowd. Our high-tops range is the perfect way to do this, thanks to the bright colours and funky designs we love to use.
