Can someone explain to me why some Vans Authentic shoes have a slightly taller sole and rubber upper-wrap which seems to come further up onto the canvas upper? I’m not talking about the “Platform” sneakers as those are taller than what im referring to. I’ve included a comparison image as an example. I prefer the taller sole but don’t know what search term to use to find them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    its a size thing, the soles are the same thickness and the foxing tape is the same height, a size 4 mens authentic will look like it has a taller midsole than a size 18 pair of authentics, even though both have the same height of foxing tape.

    i can tell they are different sizes due to the number of eyelets and the proportional size of the eyelets
