    Tried hi-tops, hated them as I couldn't roll the ankle for easy heel/toe. Now use mid-top Pilotis.
    I personally can't stand those ballerina things... Why not also accessorize with a tutu???

    I have no problem with my high tops but I do more of a "twist and stab" instead of a roll.

    I have always used mid-tops. The wide leather straps on the top keep the laces covered so that they cannot get caught on anything if I need to exit the vehicle in a hurry. No problem with heel-n-toe.

    I got mid-top Crow shoes with the velcro at top too, I also like to hide the laces behind. Not a huge deal, but one less thing to snag.

    I'm liking this cowboy boot idea though!
