It's a futuristic costume. The shoes have either gravity enhancers, or magnets that she can engage to make the shoes stick to the ground.

For the vast majority of the pics I've posted on this thread, the main thing I look for is a minimum of exposed flesh. Other things like stupidly high heels or super human strength can be hand waved by imaginative means.



You'll note that above the pic that people have focused on are 2 pics from the same artist that feature sensible shoes.

A guy I knew back in library school was married to a woman who wore heels like that every single day (unless she was home sick). I'm not joking or even exaggerating. Even her winter boots had heels like that. Those of us that knew her used to wonder if maybe the heels served as a kind of ice axe or in place of crampons.

Now, I'm not saying that anything about this woman's shoes (or her personality, come to think of it) was reasonable. I'm just saying, if something sends that pic rocketing into crazy town territory, it's not necessarily the shoes.

On second look, those heels are a little short to belong to the lady I'm talking about. Maybe if you kept the heel height and ditched some of the platform thickness in the front of the shoe or something.

Its not just the fact that it has heels. Women wear heels. Thats a real thing.

Its the fact that its a suit of armor with heels. Heels, while they have their uses, are not suitable footwear for a combat situation.

And on top of that she has a Chaingun, that she would presumably be firing in the heels. Firing that is gonna snap those heels off, no question.

Full body armor? Full body armor only now? Moving the goal posts?

This isn't the first pic posted with high heels.

First one I saw. And It's not moving the goal post. Do you see a seem in her suit that indicates that they are boots?

Edit:After reviewing the thread yes there are other picks with heels. 4 of them.

I would by no means give them all a pass, however I must point out that The last posted involves stilettos (what I pointed out originally if you go back and read my post) as such goes up another notch of infeasibility.

Several possible seams.

And every picture before with high heels didn't belong in this thread. Just like every single one with boob-plate didn't either.

Sure, the standard for the depiction of women in armor (and often just armor in general really) is so crappy that personally I already declare victory when the woman's belly is covered. But heels like that are anything but reasonable within the context of armor. Well assuming the intended use of the outfit is to protect and not ensure you trip over and/or brake your ankles that is.

DarkVolt does some awesome picks for the APs on Lordkat.com



Dangle earrings not so much but elves.

There. I fixed it. Can we move on now?
