I personally think people should be comfortable.
High heels aren’t common where I live at all. I can’t think of the last time I’ve seen anyone wear them. They aren’t really great for your knees or body. This is a fashion trend I’m glad to see go.
High heels are alive and well here in LA. Some girls wear like 6 inch heels. I don't know how they walk in them. Luckily I'm 5'8 so I don't have to go that high, but when you go to a party, you are expected to wear heels or you look frumpy next to others. I've seen girls in high heel sandals at the Sundance Film Festival (in Utah, in the winter, in snow...) Walking in snow in high pointy heel sandals. If it happens in real life, no reason it can't happen in space!
I had to google it but I wouldn't say that clothing is battle armor either.
Only because you haven't watched the movie.
Indeed. What women doesn't have a pair of basic black pumps in their closet?
In Atomic Blonde Charlize Theron wore high heels. In the more stylized movies, women wear high heels with guns, but even on TV shows like Castle and I think the Mentalist, female cops wore heels...
I don't, they wouldn't really go with the purple walking stick
Same here in TX. I see them at the store, even at the gym I go to when they are coming in and leaving (you tend to notice the transformation from business attire to work out clothes), My GF wears them to work and also when we go out. I personally think they look awesome and very sexy. They are the first thing I buy during a new characater release. As long as G8 has nails, makeup and heels, I am set, LOL.
When I was in college our frat lost a bet and several of us had to dress in drag to a dance. As much as I love the way women look in heels, I don't see how they can walk in them because I nearly killed myself, LOL.
I always got a kick out of how TV cop shows often had a female lead cop who wore skirts and heels every day EXCEPT any day when there was to be a foot chase or gun fight, that day she luckily had chosen to wear sensible shoes and pants. It take a lot of effort to plan ahead that effectively!
Honestly, I don't care that high heels and such are available (and you're going to need some for casual and contemporary renders, especially). I just don't understand the logic behind putting them on a costume which is clearly designed be otherwise relatively realistic and optimised for something like survival or, especially, combat. Or at the very least, simply making them optional.
Is there a market for them? Totally! Can it be desirable for figures when you're simply rendering them in some random pose for them camera. Absolutely. I don't have any problem with that. Nor was I referring to outfits which were meant for otherworldly and fantastical themes, where pretty much anything goes (even though I would personally value practicality over style, I can appreciate there are times artists want the opposite).
My confusion comes when the high heels are obviously clashing against what is an otherwise relatively practical/realistic design. Take, for instance, Kool's Evil Shadow Outfit. It's one of the single best-looking outfits in the store. I love that mask, the material is very realistic and there's beautiful attention to detail. What prevented me from buying it on day one? Those heels... I couldn't take the risk of spending that much money on a gamble that something from one of my pre-existing sets might fit over the legwear or, especially, have textures which look like they match up if I attempted to kit-bash them with it.
I took that risk only because I had a voucher and the steep discounts, this month, allowed me to make that gamble. Fortuantely, it turned out a couple of other boots I had do fit over the legwear (though one of them still doesn't match up, texture-wise). But if none of them did... Well, I'd otherwise be just paying to use the upper half of the outfit.
This is why I was so relieved that Aeon Soul brought out that new texture expansion for their Proxy outfit. I've only really been able to use Tau Ceti from the waist upwards (yes, you can use the leggings without those peculiar flat-soles-yet-unnecessarily-arched footwear, but the chunky legwear makes simple bare feet look really out of proportion) and only with one or two things which look right for the legs. Now the Proxy outfit is compatible with the same textures as Tau Ceti, I can finally use the entire TC ensemble - and it's great! It's really good for, say, covering cybernetic female characters. But I've had to make a combined purchase of four different products over several months to actually get to that point (Tau Ceti, the texture expansion, plus Proxy and its texture expansion) and I honestly don't understand the logic which went into giving an otherwise pretty solid sci-fi outfit those arched shoes without any alternative option.
Content creators are totally within their rights to produce whatever they'd like. I'd never declare otherwise! It's their stuff, after all. :) And outfits which are geared clearly towards overly fantastical themes are not what I'm referring to. I just don't understand why, when designing something which is clearly meant for realistic-looking renders and environments, high or arched heels would be the designer's first choice without giving the customer any flat alternative.
Arched heels are bound to survive well into the future, sure! But, outside of Japanese cartoons, have you ever seen them on an environmental hazard suit? On a soldier's battledress? That kind of stuff is what I'm referring to.
Where is this? I want it now.
I should think that spike heels and deck plating would be a very bad combination. Do you know how much impact a spike heel (even worn by a fairly slim person) meets the floor with? Good thing most space ships probably don't maintain full gravity.
If 1G is not a problem for heels, why is this a problem in 0.5 gravity, even at zero G? I think that some girls in my job even can be happy in ultra high hells at 2G.
My problem with heels are not the sexy heels, it is the lack of coherence with the design. A futuristic design mixed with a 20th century sexy heels breaks all sense of design. Futuristic clothes deserve futuristics sexy heels, like bubblegum crisis heels for example.

And...come on!...practical things are boring and reality flavorless, a bit of funny fantasy is not so terrible...maybe
I dunno....if you're doing a scene of a crew in a spaceship going to the planet Boogaboo in a galaxy 2300 lightyears away to fight the evil tyrant using their awesome special super powers, I think it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to accept the unreality of high heels on a deck plating....
Aeon Soul's Tau Ceti Overseer and Holoflow outfits have a nice boot design, though it's even nicer to be able to mix and match either one with Proxy for the more practical footwear option.
The late Prince would disagree!
Probably, but mine is not just a fashion accessory, It replace the trusty club when one goes out.
Okay I really need to call a penalty on the play here...
The heels in those images are just wrong. Too often I see cartoon feet that are these weirdly distorted blobs that look like someone had no clue how to reproduce the simple anatomy of feet. Just wrong.
I'm female. Never worn high heels. I remember small holes/imprints in the wooden floor of our house, originating from visitors with high heels. I remember friends just trying to cross a cobblestone street with high heel, breaking either the heels or their legs. Outer space or postapocalyptic earth can't be better than our cobblestone streets.
That said, I like IgnisSerpentus outfits, as they don't pretend to be practical, just beautiful, and high heels suit these well.
In addition to the sexy/formal factor, my sister wears high heels in order to appear taller. As a very short woman, she does not like people always looking down on her. Heels help a little bit. If they have battle boots with high heels, Kathy would wear them.
Wonder Woman wears high heeled battle sandals.
At least it's a wedge heel, not a spike. I love that movie and Gal Gadot is a goddess, but those shoes did annoy me just a little.
In that 1961 classic "Nude on the Moon", none of the moon maidens wore footwear of any sort.
@cherpenbeck - TY :) I dont think Id ever do realistic or practical stuff. For me, that kills the fun of doing this.
PS: Wonder Woman is my idol <3 (andeveryotheramazoneverspokenof)
Since those are an artistic interpretation of suits from an Anime series, I'll give them a pass on that.
Actually, the feet on the BGC hardsuits are based on Ballet Boots. Those are a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet_boot
Just google "ballet boots" and you'll get plenty of info.
My first wife wore heels everywhere and let me tell you there wasn't anything she couldn't do in them including climbing a rock cliff. Half brother bet her $500.00 she couldn't she bought more heels and a stereo with that $500
Reading through some of the comments, I was thinking exactly this. I've seen women do things in stiletto heels that men can't do in combat boots.
Recently... Wonder Woman.
Just because some women do it doesn't mean it has to be the only option though....
Personally I think high heels could verry well been worn in space....but only in 0G and inside the spaceship and on a less then 0.3 G planet. Anywhere else they are a health risk.....personally I only walk on mountain tracking shoes.....with Vibram soles.
