Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

High heals on female cops. It actually didn't bother me in Jurassic World because that character wasn't expecting action, so it made sense for her not to have flats with her. Cops, though? No.

Not just cops but action heroes in general.

like fucking catwoman in the new batman movies, wtf. People preparing themselves for action are not going to be wearing high heels.

Oh, very true. I guess I can suspend a bit of disbelief with people with actual superpowers. Like, maybe their powers mean heals won't hurt their feet? But for non-superpowered characters? Then it does bug me.

the kind of heels they typically use-- the boots with the lowish heels-- aren't actually bad at all. i wear them regularly, over sneakers or flats, just because they're more comfortable to me. and they don't actually stop me from doing anything.

Hmmm, interesting. I can't wear heals of any kind for more than about an hour or two, and I can't walk around much in them. Otherwise I end up in a lot of pain. Even the chunky, low heals, even wedges.

i obviously can't speak for anyone else, but i started wearing them more regularly about a decade ago when i realized that the position they forced me to stand in helped a LOT with my regular back pain. it didn't take long to get accustomed to doing everything in them, including a lot of climbing through shelving and on/in/around arcade machines.

Do you run in them, though? Just curious. It seems like they'd at least slow you down compared to walking shoes/sneakers. And that would be a pretty big deal for a cop or action hero.

i do! they're not so good for running in the rain, but i find they're steadier in the snow/ice than sneakers. friends end up falling flat on their asses while i'm staying upright.

I wonder if y'all are thinking about the same type of "low-heeled boot"...

I don't know? I guess, when I made the original comment, I was mostly thinking about characters like Beckett in Castle. She wears just plain high healed stuff that I imagine would be painful to run in and would slow her down.

Agreed, but that's not the sort of boot I thought the other person was talking about.

this was the kind I was thinking about. heel-style, at least.

Not trying to be rude, but since you've written it this way three times in a row now, I assume that it's not just a typo: are you using an autocorrect or do you really not know it's spelled "heels" rather than "heals"?

Honestly I'm half asleep and wasn't paying attention to spelling. I realize it is heels, I just didn't notice.

Do you do martial arts in them? These people aren't just walking around. They are fighting.

With Catwoman, it's especially puzzling for me because there's nothing particularly soft-footedly feline about heels going clack-clack-clack with every step...

I'm very similar, like if it's a lady who typically wears heels being thrown into an unexpected action situation? I can roll with it, to an extent because if the shoes are like 5 inches I'm going to be like 'no'.

But women who know they'll be in fighting situations wearing heels? No, flats man. Or combat boots.
