In weight-bearing dorsiflexion test, smaller ankle dorsiflexion and range of motion were found in high-collar shoes compared with low-collar shoes (Yang et al., 2017). One included article examined how collar height interacted with heel counter-stiffness on ankle stability and athletic performance in basketball (Liu et al., 2017). Findings from this study provide further support of the role of collar height in improving ankle stability during sidestep cutting as compared with heel counter-stiffness. From the performance perspective, however, high-collar shoes
