A lot of the time they do it because the actresses are very petite and the men are very tall; this creates eyeline issues for the production crew. Wearing heels is an easier way to compensate for that than using a Scully Box in every shot.

Sleepy Hollow is notoriously terrible for this: Abbie is too short to meet the physical standards of almost ANY US Law Enforcement Agency [as a field agent] and wears ridiculous high heels because Ichabod is very, very tall-- and he would be in the 100th percentile for height as an 18th century man.

Ichabod is from a wealthy background, though, and class-based height difference were much greater at the time. While he would be in the top percentile at the time, most of the bottom of the chart was distorted through to malnutrition. It's only in the last 10 years that the constant increase in height in first world countries is leveling off.

She isn't really conspicuously shown to be wearing super high heels, though. To me it feels like one of the necessary things to try and compensate for the height difference in filming scenes but they don't try to make Abbie out to be an FBI agent who wears ridiculously impractical shoes for Reasons.
