Lot of people have been saying the Grinches run a little bigger than the Del Sols though. Might be good to just try them on for yourself for your next pairs.

Take into account that I am 5'8" and 170 pounds......

I think no matter what you wear, if you land on someone's foot, your ankle will roll.Originally Posted by DeezyVSOP
^ You see more people rolling their ankles in mids because more people play in mids.
I agree, a low top isn't going to give you less ankle support. I think the greatest contributing factor or cause of ankle injuries is landing on other people's feet. If you take out all of the ankle injuries sustained because the player landed on someone else's foot, I think the overall number would be a lot less.
But it's strictly numbers when it comes to your statement about mids. The amount of players who wear mids is much, much higher than people who play in lows. Let's say the percentage of players who get ankle injuries, whether in lows or mids, is 10%.
If 500 players play in mids, 50 will have ankle injuries.
If 50 players play in lows, 5 will have ankle injuries.

I have absolutely no grip problems, but the socks I wear greatly impact the comfort in the toe box. The thicker, softer socks (adidas performace), gave me some discomfort, while the skin tight thin nike dri fit socks (old), and similar material under armour have been great. I haven't bought a second pair yet, but thinking about it, after having to scrub my grinchs when some fool with dirty shoes messed up my grinchs.
I will say, that I am thinking about going down a half size, as the toe box seems to be loose, but I have a narrow foot. Will let you guys know how I feel after balling in size 11's and size 11.5's.
