My daughter's wardrobe really sucks, as per an unspoken rule. However, she proudly collects high tops. She reports that a gray pair of DC Mason 2 men's skate shoes are "ridiculously comfortable." I think a sleek design naturally draws attention. The soft inner padding makes the shoe rise slightly and the toe box is flexible. I will proudly order another pair in the future. The high-tops help her avoid a medial ankle sprain.
