Not just this, but we actually have a few shoes that have heels, and they make your character's leg shorter, this is extremely visible with 2B's boots, which have a rather high heel, try going barefoot, measuring your character's leg(as in, take a screenshot and measure the pixels), then equip 2B boots, and measure it again, it will make it very visible what is actually happening there.

...actually never mind, I will do it myself.



Any shoe with heels will need to do the same trick, and rescaling the character isn't an alternative because it won't simply make you taller, it will change your body proportions across the board, the sandals exist to give your character some clearance and not need for every single shoe in the game to do resize your legs.
