Whats the difference between a basketball shoes and a running shoe?

Question

just trying to find out the differences (;

Answer 1

Basketball shoes need to provide support for the ankles because of the impact that caused from jarring the ankles side to side. Typically they are mid to high top covering the ankles.

Running shoes need more cussion from the feet slapping pavement or worse. They don't necessarily need the high ankle support so they tend to be low tops below the ankles.
