Discussion: The Role and Representation of High Heels in Comics and Media

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on how high heels are utilized in movies, comics, and television shows. Beyond just aesthetics, do you find that specific footwear choices enhance character design, influence how a character is perceived, or impact the overall "vibe" of a scene?

Does anyone like or love women or girl’s high heels?

Are there any iconic characters—in comics or on-screen—where you feel their footwear (specifically heels) was a perfect design choice, or conversely, where it felt out of place?

Looking forward to your respectful insights and opinions!

i find them kind of impractical unless used as a weapon, that being said, i'd be lying it i said i didn't like the aesthetic on some characters, like Zatanna for example, it just kind of complements her vibe/look.

A personal favourite of mine is 'Widowmakers' heels in Overwatch, she has undoubtedly the most iconic footsteps in the game. Apart from that, any form of weapon hidden within higheels no matter how impractical will always score extra cool points with me.
