Should I purchase a high boot or low boot?
Last Updated: 08/23/2011
It's up to you! Neither one is "better" than the other.
High  boots generally offer more ankle support, so if you have weak ankles that may be right for you.
Low boots are more popular and allow you to move your ankle more freely and it will also not be as hot on your foot.
The low top boots are generally considered speed boots.
