It is possible Chad, but on short notice sometimes we have to do what we have to do.
This what the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine had to say about this subject.
The use of a high top basketball shoe is still one of the best means for protecting the ankle from inversion sprains. NBA players choose a wide variety of shoe gear styles to play in; 68% of the players utilize a high top shoe, 15% utilize a 3/4 top shoe, and only 10% will use a low top basketball shoe for regular play. Your choice will be tempered by what is available and what properly fits.
Good luck and best wishes to you. Score big!
