Do basketball shoes really prevent ankle rollovers ?

Is it b/c they go up higher or is it maybe that the edges of the shoe are more rounded or is just a gimmick ?

They do for the most part. Because they are high tops and have more ankle support. Tennis shoes are the same way and those really do help a lot.

If you pump them mugs up enough, yeah.

High tops don't prevent them but they do help!

I keep trying to hang with these 17 year old black kids who can dunk...not working out for me when my old white arse limps off the court ...

I will tell you that high top work boots do protect from twisting your ankles.

Yes they do help. They are built to handle lateral movements.

It's not a gimmick.

The trend seems to be going to the lower cut style like Kobe. I know the Pistons' trainer was complaining a few years ago that all of the flywire superlight technology, especially in Nikes, was removing stability and leading to foot/leg injuries.

anyone have a specific shoe recommendation ?

My logging boots have saved me many times. I couldn't roll my ankle if I tried. They are 11" IIRC

Yes, it also helps with lateral movement significantly.
Too many times I've seen guys get injured wearing running shoes on the court

Help me jump higher too

No but they help a little.

Don't basketball shoes just transfer the stress to your knees? I have knee problems so I wear running / cross training shoes.
