How can Victoria stand in those high heels she tends to get almost all the time? And still look graceful?

It is her special superpower. Superman has X-ray vision, Batman can climb walls horizontally and Victoria can cling to the tops of towering stilletto heels with her calves of steel and death-grip insteps. The only way to defeat her is to show her a pair of granny sandals and watch her crumble :)
Now that would make a great pic! ^^
ever tried running in flip flops/thongs?
Her super swayback allows her to wear high heels as long as she stands with her back and hips in an extra extended position. It is a weird evolutionary quirk
Ever tried walking in six inch heals?
Personally no, but I would be super impressed if a woman climb Everest with them on. I was modeling a pair of shorter more realistic ones in Blender last night, still making the UV's. I'll probably give them away unrigged on sharecg as there is no money in fashion for Vicky that is not mocking the laws of physics.
Yes, though like Vicky, I tended to prefer a 4 in heel (I measured the heels in Studio and most of Vickie's high ones are around 4 inches not 6). I started buying amazingly vintage high heels (late 50's early 600's) back in college. And I did more than walk in them. I danced in them as well. Once you develop the balance and core strength walking in them isn't that tough if they fit properly.
I saw a woman in Walmart a week ago walking in 6" heels... wow... she seriously looked like she was in pain. She was totally stiff-legged and walking like she had some solid pole running through her entire body. I almost hurt watching her... almost. Then I thought "If it hurts so bad, why are you wearing them?!?" I guess she didn't know (or care) that she didn't look the least bit sexy or happy.
Some people are such slaves.... haha
It's called Party Heels. You wear normal shoes before you get to the party (or in Vicky's case, the temple, and once you get there, you put them on. Then you just stand in one position (or in Vicky's case, pose in an action pose wearing nothing else, with a sword, in a... you get the picture) and you wait for a guy to (literally) pick you up and carry you to his car (Vicky usually just stands there while Michael kills off the monster just out of picture, and then he carries her off).
hahaha this is it exactly!
There is an art to wearing high heels. I used to be able to but I had foot surgery (totally unrelated to wearing high heels lol) and have a plate and pins holding the middle of my foot together. So my foot can no longer physically bend to wear anything much over a couple of inches. For short periods of time.
Yep I wore 4 or 5 inch heels nearly all the time, I could work a 8 hour shift tending bar in 4 inch heels; as Khory says it do do with posture and balance.
I ask myself that every time I go to a mens club. I have seen women do all kinds of movement in high heels, probably why I like them so much, LOL. My GF wears them often, I assume it's because she likes them since she keeps buying them, LOL.
I asked mum a while back (no need to ask the ex - she used a f word at the suggestion of wearing em: you like em you wear em, was her response)
Mum who has bought some pretty amazing ones over the years, said it's doable in em; some things, but generally not pleasant after a short period of time. Or laughed and said no way.
I don't buy products that have heals; the pro packs have more than I need included.
Honestly I would probably wear them more often if I could just because, well, there are so many lovely styles out there that just don't come in lower or flat heels. But alas, its not to be lol. It does take some grace and balance and good leg muscles as previous posters have said though.
Gravity in the DAZ universe affects women differently than men.
Greetings,
I bought my wife a pair of 'strappy shoes' as we call them, from Taryn Rose a long time ago, around a 3" heel (with a sane base and AWESOMELY comfy padding, I'm told). She was able to run, somewhat, in them during our honeymoon when we were late for a Cirque show, so it's possible. 'Spensive shoes, though.
For 3D, I love these things called 'kitten heels', although there aren't many examples in the DAZ-world... esha's 'patchwork' collection are awesome.
I'm a big fan, in real life as well as 3D, of 'slouch boots', mainly 'slouch ankle boots', and I really wish more vendors would make those. Without spiky heels. :-)

I'm ashamed to admit I laughed at this, because it's sadly true, apparently.
Then again, with 75% of the outfits that are sold for female characters, I often wonder if the artists ever take into consideration how they'd work in real life, or if they're going solely off of rule of cool/libido. XP
It's not just DS outfits that wouldn't work in real life. I was happily rendering the Regency Cottage as part of a period piece until I noticed that it didn't have a chimney. In the days before gas central heating, I can only imagine Regency Vicky kept warm by snuggling up to Regency Mike, and that she ran round on high heels so that he could catch her more easily!
My fantasy warrioress, Captain Serena of the Emperor's Elite Guard, would not tolerate such behaviour in a meer male. She'd have the monster sliced to bits well before Michael had put his loin cloth on still less got anywhere near the scene of the action. And she wouldn't be seen dead in less than six inch heels either.
Cheers,
Alex.
Honestly? if you gave me a pair of 6 inch heels and a pair of those stupid "ballet flat" things and told me we'd be walking for the next 4 hours, I'd take the heels, at least with the heels it would take 3 hours before they really started to hurt with all those stupid flats it takes about 10 minutes. 4 inch heels and my feet will be fine all day
(Seriously for some reason every single shoe company has decided that, to make up for the shoes being flat, they have to be extra narrow and all cut across the widest part of the foot)
I'm not claiming heels are great, just that flats are perfectly capable of sucking far more. Did you realize most flats have pretty much no padding? because they mostly don't which is something you quickly realize when you have a gravel driveway.
In conclusion, flats were created by the devil to give me blisters and make the back of my ankle bleed. Down with flats.
There is no gravity in the Poserverse (of which Studio is an AU). Anyone can do anything in any kind of silly foot decorations (they aren't properly *shoes*) if there is no gravity.
I used to do a whole lot of walking in my last job, which I held for 15 years. I did Contract Services for The Royal Parks in Central London and Outer London, so could find myself walking on a variety of surfaces. As I was management level it was a business suit. I settled for around 1½ - 2" heels, not too thin. they were the best for me. Kitten heels when it was business suits with a skirt, sometimes chunkier heels if I wore a trouser suit..
Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't wear flats without getting the backs of my ankles chewed to bloody shreds. But my boots with a 3" wedge heel I can and have walked for miles in. And I find it far more comfortable driving (especially a 5-speed) in heels than in flats.
I love high heels. I love my pink ones, and my purple ones, and my orange ones, and my red ones and... maybe my husband is right, and I have too many.
Nah.
I can walk pretty well in heels of most heights, can run if need be - as well as I can in any shoes with my asthma, past 4" and they get a bit much for me. I agree almost all dressy flats are utterly terrible, a good pair of 3" heels have a lot more padding and support. My favorite dressy shoes right now are about 2" wedge sandals.
Same.. and worse yet now that I have no excuse for heels my arches have started to go flat. Even tennis shoes are no help because they have no arch support any more.
I got married in 6" heels... down the aisle, to the reception, dancing all night... If you're used to it, it's not bad.
But did you have paper runners on the dais? Was quite amusing at my friends' wedding when she circled him seven times and the paper runners followed her...
It is getting used to them part is hard. I rather wear tennis shoe type footwear
I never found high heels half as hard to walk in as those big stack plaforms when I was a teenager.
When I was about thirteen, I nagged and nagged at my mum for a pair of black t-bar platforms that I could wear to school. She eventually gave in, and after the fuss I'd made to get them I didn't like to admit that my mates had christened them 'Frankenstein boots' and I could barely walk in them, so I 'accidentally' lost one in the changing rooms one day while we were doing PE. For ages after, every parent's evening was spent distracting my mother from the sight of the lost property pile just in case there was a Frankenstein boot ready to emerge dramatically from the depths in search of it's long-lost partner :)
