Last updated: October 2026. All specs are for men's US size 10.
Rolled ankles are one of the most common injuries in basketball, so it makes sense to want a shoe that helps. But "ankle support" is more complicated than a high collar.
A well-known study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (Barrett and others, 1993) followed 622 college intramural players who were given high-top, high-top with air chambers, or low-top shoes for a season. The injury rates were not significantly different between the groups. In other words, collar height alone doesn't stop sprains.
What does help, according to the shoe reviewers we rely on, is a shoe that keeps your foot planted on top of the sole. That comes from:
A mid or high collar can still add a feeling of security, and some players like it, so we included a few. Weights are for one men's US size 10 shoe and prices are launch retail. If you have had a bad sprain, talk to a doctor or athletic trainer about bracing or taping, which no shoe replaces.
Our rating: 4.4/5 (RunRepeat lab score 88/100) · Weight (men's US 10): 16.0 oz · Launch price: $190
RunRepeat gave the LeBron 22 a 96 for stability, the highest stability score in this guide, and described it as "incredibly supportive" with "great containment and stability." It is heavy at 16.0 oz, but that comes with a wide, sturdy platform that is very hard to roll.
Our rating: 4.2/5 (RunRepeat lab score 84/100) · Weight (men's US 10): 15.5 oz · Launch price: $130
Anthony Edwards' second shoe has a mid-height collar and, according to RunRepeat, "fantastic stability and ankle support." It scored 93 for stability. RunRepeat also liked its durability and predictable medium-width fit. The traction is weaker than the AE 1's, and it is not for outdoor courts.
Our rating: 4.5/5 (RunRepeat lab score 91/100) · Weight (men's US 10): 15.3 oz · Launch price: $155
RunRepeat lists "solid ankle support and lateral stability" and "secure lockdown and containment" among the KD 18's strengths, with a 90 for stability. Its low 4.8 mm heel-to-toe drop keeps your foot close to the floor, which RunRepeat says makes it feel "more stable and controlled." It runs narrow.
Our rating: 4.4/5 (RunRepeat lab score 88/100) · Weight (men's US 10): 13.3 oz · Launch price: $135
Luka Doncic plays with a lot of step-backs and hard stops, and his shoe is built for that. RunRepeat scored the Luka 4 at 91 for stability and recommends it for "a solid ankle support for forceful and dynamic footwork." It is proof that a low-top can be very supportive.
Our rating: 4.3/5 (The Hoops Geek expert rating 8.7/10 (4 reviews)) · Weight (men's US 10): about 15.9 oz (estimate) · Launch price: $169.99
Klay Thompson's KT 9 has the highest support rating of any shoe in this guide on The Hoops Geek, 9.1 out of 10. Reviewers say it is "best for players seeking stability and impact protection." It is a mid-top and fits narrow to regular feet.
Our rating: 4.3/5 (RunRepeat lab score 86/100) · Weight (men's US 10): 14.2 oz · Launch price: $120
RunRepeat praised its "wonderful foot containment and lateral stability" and its "wide and stable platform," with a 91 for stability. It also has a mid collar and a roomy fit, so it is a great choice if you need support and have wide feet.
Our rating: 4.3/5 (The Hoops Geek expert rating 8.6/10 (7 reviews)) · Weight (men's US 10): about 14.5 oz (estimate) · Launch price: $199.99
If you want the locked-in feeling of a true high-top, the Air Jordan 38 is the one we list. The Hoops Geek calls it "a perfect shoe for players looking for maximalist containment," and rates it 8.6 overall. It fits narrow to regular feet.
Our rating: 4.2/5 (The Hoops Geek expert rating 8.3/10 (3 reviews)) · Weight (men's US 10): not published · Launch price: $140
Curry shoes are usually low and light, but the Curry 13 is a mid-top with an 8.7 support score from The Hoops Geek reviewers. They say it is best for "guards who prioritize indoor traction, comfort, and stability," and it has a fairly roomy fit.
Some great shoes are not the best pick if support is your main need. RunRepeat says the G.T. Cut 3's upper "lacks the expected support for cuts," and The Hoops Geek reviewers rated the Air Jordan 39 just 7.1 for support. They can still be good shoes, just not for players who roll their ankles often.
For the most stable ride, get the LeBron 22. If you want a mid-top, the AE 2 is our pick. For guards who want support in a low-top, the Luka 4 is the best choice.
