I've long been a believer that if you have an action oriented character, they should always wear flats.< Because anything else is impossible and impractical, in that order.

The one I disbelieve most is Bree Davenport from Lab Rats. Her primary superpower is speedrunning. In an early episode, it was a plot point that if she wears high heels, it actually cancels out her ability to run fast. At this point, her mission suit had flat soled boots. Then in a later episode, her mission suit was upgraded. I was quite annoyed to see the upgrade included high heeled boots!

I could keep citing examples, but it seems everywhere I look, action girls/women have to be in high heels. Since I know the physical stress this places on the ankles and the injuries that can occur by tripping over something, you could never do this in real life.

I actually prefer it when our action femmes get to wear flat soles, it means someone in the design department chose function over style.
