Inspired by a plant that appeared millions of years before dinosaurs, our Forest Fern Platform High Tops have 4 different colors of embroidered ferns on the outside of both shoes. The sole is 1.5 inches (our normal shoes have 0.9 inch soles) and the high top part around your ankle is ~ 1 inch higher than our normal high tops.  Forest Fern High Tops also come with our Fern Rope laces already ready for you.
