I get it. High heels are hot. Tighten the calves. Lift the butt. Taller. More step on me energy. They’re hard to walk in. All valid points.
However, the sound of heels, its like an insecure toddler stomping down a hallway. Just imagine a normal pair of shoes doing the heel - toes slap. Clop clop clop. Cringe.
It isn’t a technical reason.
How would you go about making non-clopping heels? (Protip: you’d better consider lateral stability in your design or you’re going to be breaking a fuckload of ankles.)
