low top

Ankle-exposing shoe type

Low top describes footwear, especially sneakers, that sits below the ankle—contrasting with high tops, which rise above it.

The style offers less ankle support but greater freedom of movement: I prefer low tops for casual wear.

As a noun, a low top is a shoe of this design: She bought a pair of white low tops.
