Will hi tops make me look dumpy?

[pigmcpigface]

I'm short (5 foot 4) and overweight (size 14) which makes me look dumpy. I'm swithering between two very similar pairs of trainers, one hi top, one ordinary. Will the hi tops make me look more dumpy?

I know what you mean. I think it might be a case of trying them in a shop of ordering - and checking the returns process!

I love the idea of high tops, but I am big and like to have the gap between the bottom of my jeans and top of shoe.

Don't go for the high top.
