There is something about wearing a pair of high-top sneakers [1] that just makes any outfit seem more elevated. While most people think the end of summer or fall means it's time to put away your sneakers, we say it's never time to pack away these practical kicks! In fact, we'd argue winter is the perfect time to slip into a pair of high-tops [2] when you're sick of wearing boots. They are comfortable to wear for hours on end, are practical for grip support, and add a cool factor to any outfit. What's not to love about that?
This season, we've been seeing many stylish options popping up on our social feeds, ranging from a pair of classic Nike Air Force 1s [3] to a pair of shearling-lined sneakers [4]. So if you're hoping to snag a pair, now is the time. Not only do these sneakers help keep your feet warm, but you can also mix and match them with everything from a sweater dress to a sweatsuit. To make this a whole lot easier on you, we've rounded up a list of our top picks ranging from an affordable pair of Zara sneakers to a pricey pair of Dior kicks that are perfect if you're looking to splurge.
