are these a little higher at the ankle for support ?

I don't find them to be any higher in the back for support. In fact, I have a heel spur on the back of my foot and they are very comfortable on it. I have wide feet and 2 heel spurs and these are the most comfortable sneakers I've found. Had no trouble walking all over Disney! If you have any foot "issues", I think these would be a good sneaker to try.

I think the are as high as you can go without it ribbing your ankle bone. I found they support ok. I have worn these because I have a wide foot and they don't bother the bones on both of my feet. I have had a problem with this pair that I havn't had before. I go on my treadmill 2 miles in the morning and 2m miles in the evening. The black was coming off in little specks and I was leaving a trail everywhere. It hasn't bothered the use of the shoe but I would really have to think about it before I bought another pair.

You may want to. I am 5'3" on a good day and there is not much fabric at my ankles when wearing these.

I would say so, my ankles are pretty small but there is more than enough room for someone with a larger ankle.

Yes, the cushion covers the ankles also. The top of the cushion is just above the ankles.

They do stick out; however, my problem is not their depth, but that they are higher than I wanted. The depth is good for comfort.

You can go to my store and take a look picture. It is little bit higher than ankle. Thank you

Yes, these are more of an arch support. Everyone's arch is higher or lower than someone else. Since one size wont fit all, they try to make a few different sizes of arch support so you can try to get one that is somewhat close. If you need an arch support these can help provide some relief. If you need an arch support and would like a professional fit like a doctor would prescribe go to Surethotic.com. They will make a support that is an exact fit and will last 10 times longer.

These are very stretchy and come up the leg about like a women's anklet sock - not quite to mid-calf. Its been over a year and a half since my husband passed, so I can't really remember how high they came on his leg, but they did not stop at the ankle.

For me they do, but I don't have weak ankles to begin with, and as long as you tie the shoelaces really tight you'll have support. I ordered 0.5 size bigger (usually I wear 5.5 but I ordered a 6) and it fit perfectly. I found these to be extremely comfortable, especially since the rentals that I was using were extremely uncomfortable, these feel way better.

Yes. They have a great arch support. I use them because I have a high arch, but my son usez them because his foot overpronates which flattens his arch when walking.

Usually they do. However, my old pair just dangled there after alot of use and wear. Or just one side drooped down.

Absolutely not! That is what is great about these as well. I find I have to push them down sometimes just because I pull them too high up. It doesn't matter where I "set" them...they stay. Even pairs I have had for a while that have been washed and slightly loosened. They stay put.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

yeah they do have small ankle protection, i wouldn't say a lot, but a little

I use them for playing basketball when I tweaked my ankle. They provide good support, but I would not use them when looking for support only.

Not really. The main purpose of them is to keep your foot from sliding forward in heels thereby making them more comfortable. They are not support insoles but more like a tool. That's why they don't take up the entire bottom of your shoe.

Yes but it goes under the sole of my shoe so it doesn't bother me at all. I really like them and feel they give great support.
