I've been wearing Reebok Classic High Tops for years. I bought these because I don't think that Reebok makes the Classic High Top any longer. This is a good shoe, but it is not as high as the Reebok Classic and therefore doesn't give me the ankle support that I need. I am prone to sprained ankles and the Reebok Classic gave me great ankile support. Also, the Reebok Classic had better shaping and stitching of the leather, especially in the front. The Classics were also lighter in weight than this shoe.
This is a good shoe, three stars. I've always given the Reebok Classic High Tops a five stars. I feel that they just made a cheaper shoe to replace the Classic. Also, I've always worn a size 11 D in the Classic. This shoe, in size 11 D fits a little looser than the same size in the Classic. If you are used ot the Classic, I would buy this shoe 1/2 size smaller.
