Women's hi-top trainers at Deichmann

Finding your perfect hi-top trainers

You may have seen hi-tops on the basketball court, but with style, comfort and support all rolled into one, it’s an easy style of shoe to pair with almost anything you want to wear. Made with a padded tongue and collar around the ankle for extra shock support, these shoes really can do it all.

Things to consider when buying hi-top trainers

Although the major things to consider when buying hi-top trainers come down to fit and your preferred style, there are a few other bits to consider before adding to cart.

Material – Hi-top trainers come in a range of different materials, from the infamous canvas style to the sporty synthetic or leather styles. Have a think about what works best for you and the look you want to achieve overall.

Maintenance – Like materials, you should think about the maintenance that needs to go into your new shoes for them to last a long time. From dodging rainy days in canvas to keeping white shoes bright throughout the salty, muddy streets in winter, choose a pair that work best for you.

Activity – Although it’s likely these are going to be streetwear shoes over sports shoes, never say never. As such, think about when, where and how you’ll be wearing them. If it’s all for show, let your heart guide you to your perfect pair. But, if your hi-tops are going to see a bit more activity than walking shop to shop or grabbing brunch with your bestie, think about the support your feet will need.

How to style hi-top trainers

Hi-top trainers are the type of shoe that can go as far as you want them to. Pair sportier models with the latest streetwear, like joggers, hoodies, skinny and ripped jeans. Or, to give your daywearoutfits a little bit of a casual flare, pair your hi-tops with a cute floral dress or skirt. For a look that showcases your new shoes, why not frame them with a pair of jeans or trousers rolled up at the ankle? And, to add your own flare into otherwise expectedoutfitchoices, why not finish off a gorgeous evening dress with a pair of pristine hi-tops (just make sure to check the dress code).
