Converse Chuck Taylor High Top vs Low Top

So, here we are with another Converse Chuck Taylor video. You guys seem to love these shoes and I get asked often on the channel which is better between the high top and the low top. Rather than answer the same question over and over, I thought it was time I made a video to help you decide.
In the video, I weigh up the pros and cons of both shoes, show you styling examples and on-feet shots. I have a side by side comparison of the high top and the low top towards the end of the video, so if you are still unsure, hopefully, that will help you decide. I talk about the versatility of each shoe, which is more comfortable and which is going to give you the most wear.
As I own both the high top and the low top in the Converse Chuck Taylor's, I thought I would let you know which I would choose if I had to choose between the two. It was a hard decision as I love both the low top and the high top but there is a winner for me and my style right now.
The two shoes in the video are the Chuck Taylor 70 in the parchment colourway.

High top. But I love both.

[@karlgeraldpabustan8329]

Ngl, I chose the hightops too coz im a sucker for that star patch. Therefore, Hi tops ftw 💯💯

👊👊👊

[@avokittypup]

Same

[@lovemadeinjapan]

I don't like to be a walking advertisement: low tops also for that reason.

[@xenoblade_2289]

I chose Hightower because when I were the low top ones it hurts my ankle which that doesn't happen with the hightops

[@vlntine972]

I have it is way better than low top

[@izzy6231]

High tops - Converse Low tops - vans

[@shrek3721]

High top - Converse Low tops - Air force 1 My opinion

[@Aliv-hy7bv]

low tops converse better than vans

[@yellowgreen2378]

I love vans but its so hard to clean 🥺

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I can't wear neither Vans nor converse low tops. The canvas material is abrasive and rubs against the back of my ankle unless I'm wearing thick long socks. I learned that the hard way when I first got low top Vans. Now I only wear the high tops much more comfortable imo

[@puglover6113]

@@shrek3721 Air Force 1 are ugly.. but that’s my opinion I only have high top converse And low top vans They are amazing

[@jo_qYT]

I’ve always preferred the high tops over the low tops but recently I’ve come to appreciate the mature look the of low tops. I’ve mentioned before that I like high tops for my more casual looks and the low tops for a more dressed up look. I do switch it up sometimes but that’s how I normally dress them.

[@HarryHas]

👊 Sounds good

[@googlyboogly1060]

Imo low tops are better in the parchment color and hi tops look better with the black color

[@walkwithdeath]

Low tops for me. Easier to style, goes with pretty much any outfit imaginable (especially the all white one as shown in the vid). They are also one of those rare shoes that look great when dirty, worn in, etc. (tho this is true for any Converse shoe). I love the silhouette of the shoe, especially when compared against Vans. However, when it is rainy, I prefer wearing the Gore Tex high tops, since they provide style, comfort and functionality, especially in the summer, when you are less likely to be wearing boots and trousers and more shorts and trainers.

[@papayaw8700]

Definitely

[@tobz1693]

Especially when you live in hot country

[@pokemonlegendary2841]

I just bought my first converse with my own money and I'm watching this because i don't know how to style 'em, im also planning to change all of my shoes into converse. This is big help🙌🏻

I came as: “obviously high top!”, and after this video I'm like, god, both are pretty good.

[@vittoriodelmundo9638]

I actually bought a black and parchment pair (Low) because of your videos. keep it up man!

[@danieDPortgas7187]

You're definitely right about the stiffness of the high tops. After walking around some you start feeling it. But I love my chucks ❤ that's the only thing I don't like about the high tops. Awesome video! Love your channel!

Thanks mate. Enjoy them

[@terribrown8103]

Love Your Video and You are sooo right from the Beginning to the End of your Video. I like the Low-Tops as well but there's something about the Hi-Tops. The Fashion of the Hi-Tops and they are better for my Angles where circulation is concerned. Converse 70s! My favorite footwear. Awesome!

[@8021555]

Just picked up a pair of high top. Love them so much!

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

They kinda look like Doc Martens made out of canvas

[@user-nd8so3mw5d]

I love the high top version, because I'm also a fan of the logo patch. But as far as I've noticed, the downside of the high top is: the heel cap area tends to tear apart - especially when it is constantly stretched when you walk.

[@cakeLOL4ever]

I love both Hi and Lo. I usually wear the low tops in the summer, they feel more free. High tops are for the winter, the ankle is not exposed which makes it a lot warmer and more comfortable, in my opinion

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Low tops in winter with thick black socks.... Better than high's!

[@HarryHas]

[@potatodude5327]

i take a little bit of a more utilitarian approach to these, so for me personally: i'd pick the hi-tops; since they're lightweight in the summer, yet can still give you a slight bit more warmth during winter season. (plus that star patch is too hard for me to pass up)

[@kaunghtetnyi2755]

Thanks a lot for the tip Harry, I'm thinking to buy the low top one cuz I usually wear shorts and I think that'll look good on me tho, anyways thanks a lot for this ^_^

[@Alexandra-dd1su]

After years of years of high tops now I own 2 pairs - and both low tops. Don’t know why, everything changed literally in a second last year. Held on to my high tops for quite some time to realize I’m not going back anytime soon and it’s time to sell/donate. Yes, literally googled some videos to figure out what’s going on in my mind😛

[@ToddsBookTube91]

Great video 😊

[@kennedysebolai9138]

That patch guys that patch 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤

[@henriquemagalhaes3062]

Hi tops definitely! Even if you have a long pair of trousers or jeans like me. Yep like you said , converse is all about simplicity and style , and you don't get with low tops , but I reckon that low tops are easier to use, cooler in warmer days.

[@brandirogers7505]

I prefer high top Chucks, because the star patch gives a retro aesthetic vibe to it

[@antoniorinaldi4155]

I have both, they’re such amazing shoes and not crazy expensive too

[@samir0959]

I'm super undecided between the black Chuck 70 or those beige ones that look so classic! I personally have always liked black shoes but I love this pair of beige high tops. Right now I don't know if this beige pair looks bad with any outfit. I don't know if the black ones are more suitable for all types of clothing or if the beige ones are more suitable. What do you think, which of the two colors would you choose?

Great video! Can you please tell me how much time approximately does one need to break in the low top version?
