Thanks to Sex Sells and Rule of Sexy, Action Girls will often wear high heels to complement the rest of their Stripperiffic outfits. The reason is simple: high heels tilt the upper body forward and thrusts the hips backwards to remain balanced, which is a form of sexual signaling, similar to arching your back to puff out your chest. In comics this is often Depending on the Artist: artist A will use it in moderation, artist B will draw practical shoes, but artist C will insist on drawing high heels on all female characters regardless of reason, situation, or even if it's the character's usual style. While this can be part of the Most Writers Are Male trend, this tends to appear often with Female Writers as well, for various reasons. note Just for reference, any heel less than - or of - three-and-a-half inches is excluded from this trope. Irony is in effect here if you realize that high heels were originally designed to be used for men on horseback to secure their foot in the stirrup, and butchers used similarly heeled shoes to avoid stepping in blood. There is a fierce debate over the use of this trope, ranging from a realistic point (they are very hard to balance, tiring to walk and can damage the feet and spine by prolonged use in real life, to say nothing of trying to actually fight in them), if it's a misogynistic tool in a male-dominated medium just to make the heroines more appealing, or if this is only another trope in fantasy and comics, no more unrealistic than any other. Not to be confused with a literal combat stiletto, nor shoes being directly used as weapons. See Rule of Sexy, Impossibly Cool Clothes and These Tropes Are Made for Walking. Compare Kick Chick and With My Hands Tied, as this trope may sometimes be used together with the said two. Tends to overlap with High-Heel Power, and Cruelty by Feet. |

In Genshin Impact most female characters have stiletto shoes or high-heeled boots. In fact, only Xiangling and Koujou Sara are the only two of at least teenage female characters that don't have heels, using tabi and tengu geta sandals instead of heels. | |

Subverted in Samurai Jack. In one episode, Jack's geta are destroyed, and he tries on a pair of stilettos that remind him of his old shoes. He manages to still be a great fighter wearing them but changes shoes when he's mocked and catcalled because of how sexy his legs look in heels. | |

Shiki's boots in The World Ends with You are heeled, but not ridiculously so. The most amusing example of this trope, though, comes in the form of the footwear equipment that, given a high enough Bravery stat, anyone can wear. Of these, the best would have to be the Enamel Pumps — their stats in terms of defense aren't impressive, but the wearer keeps their balance when hit by enemy attacks that would otherwise knock them around. Oh, the irony. | |

In Tokyo Ghoul, female Ghoul Investigators typically dress like an office lady and this means wearing pumps even while working in the field. The Auction Arc of the sequel features Akira Mado fighting in a pair of heels. But taking it to the next level is Nutcracker, a Ghoul dominatrix that is seen running along walls and performing brutal stomps in a pair of boots with stiletto heels. | |

This is largely averted in Bleach since the vast majority of female characters fight on flat heels like men. Nnoitra stands out for wearing high-heels, as part of his bizarre fashion choices. And he's 215cm tall, making him one of the tallest characters in the cast, so it's overkill for him to wear high heels. The Sternritter subvert this since they actually fly most of the time and do not stand in the air like other characters do, so high-heels would never affect their performances. | |

Cybersix animators didn't even try to make the stilettos she wears seem practical. In close-up shots, they are about 5-6 inches long! More bewildering is the fact that Cybersix travels by jumping with great agility from one uneven rooftop to the other making those shoes a complete impossibility, they are however really, really cool looking, and her running and fighting scenes are awesome so you forget about any of this almost immediately. | |

In the Fire Emblem series, a sizable portion of the female cast of any given game will be wearing high heels. While this can be at least somewhat excusable for some characters (mounted units for whom the heels serve a somewhat more practical purpose, mages who aren't expected to fight in melee combat, healers who aren't really capable of fighting at all, etc.) a fairly large number of these characters are melee fighters, a couple of them even being thieves or myrmidons, the most agile classes in any given game. This doesn't apply to every game in the series, though, and to what extent it applies to any particular game varies greatly. | |

Chuck: Sarah always wears heels, and she seems to get in fights fairly frequently. Casey mentions stabbing someone with a stiletto while investigating a fashion show sometime before the series began. This is a Stealth Pun as "stiletto" can refer to a shoe or a knife and it's unclear which one Casey meant. Numerous other female operatives wear high heels as well. |

The girls from Runaways usually dress pretty sensibly (none of them have traditional superhero costumes), but not always. One issue showed Nico Minoru going into battle wearing stilettos and Karolina fighting alongside her in flip-flops, which seems even more impractical. To be fair, they weren't attacking somebody, somebody attacked them when they weren't expecting it. | |

Dragon Quest series: Dragon Quest VI introduced the Glass Slippers accessory for female characters, which increases the wearer's style attribute but have no other purpose. They reappear in Dragon Quest Heroes and can even be equipped by male characters, just like every other accessory. In Dragon Quest IX, there are several high heel pieces of equipment that female characters can wear and they actually increase evasion rate. The high heels don't look any different than other footwear, though, even though equipment actually shows up on your character in this game. Mystical Juliante, a Dark Action Girl from Dragon Quest X has the overall look of a dominatrix, complete with black leather, a whip, and high-heeled boots. Jade from Dragon Quest XI wears high heels in all of her outfits, even when she's wearing a swimsuit, likely to keep from changing her character model too much. As a martial artist, she uses her legs in quite a few of her attacks. Krystalinda the Ice Witch also wears boots with high heels, as well, but she levitates in battle with the use of her magic so doesn't have to worry about mobility. |

Symphogear plays with it on two characters: Hibiki's first real fight after having learned martial arts from Genjuro starts with her tripping on her Symphogear's heels, which she promptly breaks off so she can fight properly. Tsubasa, on the other hand, plays it straight, and, on top of fighting with Armed Legs, can even combine her heel with a stories-tall BFS to perform a kick on hapless Mooks. |

Referred to in the MythBusters "Superhero Special". A build-team filler segment involved how fast one could change into a superhero costume in a phone booth.

Tales Series: Ange Serena of Tales of Innocence wears high heels to go along with her large white dress. Which is really quite odd, given that she's a speedy melee character who jumps and moves around a lot with her combos. Judith of Tales of Vesperia equips these in her secondary weapon slot. Sorey from Tales of Zestiria. He wears thigh-high boots with heels when armatized. |

Star Trek: Picard: In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2", when Narissa tosses away her disruptor, we can see clearly that the heels of her boots are high enough to be impractical for hand-to-hand combat, and they juxtapose Seven of Nine's flat-heeled boots. This may be a contributing factor to Narissa losing their Designated Girl Fight. | |

RWBY: A lot of the female characters are high-heeled fighters. Glynda wears heeled knee-high boots that are part of her overall appearance which gives mild hints of the Hot Librarian dominatrix style. They don't stop her leaping and somersaulting around the place while fighting. Cinder not only fights in heels, but she'll even engage in roof-hopping and building infiltration while wearing them as a companion to her Spy Catsuit. Blake's combat attire includes puppy heels. Her fighting style is based on making high-speed moves that leave after-images of herself to distract the opponent while she attacks from a different direction. Her heels don't seem to slow her down at all. Weiss is a fencer who engages in lots of acrobatic and ballet moves to make it seem as though she's skating on ice. She wears knee-high boots with very high wedge heels. She meets this trope more accurately with some of her other outfits having actual stilettos. Pyrrha is a Greek-styled warrior who fights in thigh-high, high-heeled boots. It doesn't stop her from being the four-times Mistral tournament champion and a world-class, world-renowned fighter who can take on an entire four-man combat team by herself and win with ease. Ruby, who's used to practical low-heeled combat boots, lampshades the problem with fighting in heels while trying to walk in them at the dance. When she is forced to fight in them, she wobbles on every landing and has to use her scythe to regain her balance. Cinder spots the weakness, but the fight is interrupted before she can take advantage of it. Neopolitan wears probably the highest heels in the series, while also having one of the most acrobatic fighting styles. The heel height aspect may be justified in her being easily the shortest female on the show's roster (even with heels she's less than five feet tall, whereas the shortest without heels is Weiss and she's still past that mark). Minor villain Melanie Malachite has literal combat stilettos, boasting a pair of bladed heels (in the form of white thigh-high boots) that serve as her main weapons. Her twin sister Miltia also wears heels (a red version of Melanie's boots minus the blades), but her main weapon is a pair of Wolverine-esque claws that attach to her gloves. Other examples are Emerald Sustrai, Winter Schnee, Raven Branwen, and Amber. Interesting, Emerald only picked up the stilettos after she met Cinder, before that she wore ballet flats and in Atlas, she switched to ankle boots with a much wider heel right before she had a Heel Face Turn and left Cinder for good. |

As part of the image-obsessed world of superheroes in The Boys (2019), just about every prominent female Supe wears them in some form: Queen Maeve's costume in the series is closely modeled after Wonder Woman's in the DCEU, down to wearing boots with wedge heels. She doesn't seem to have any issues fighting hand-to-hand in them. Starlight's original costume has boots with sensible wedge heels, but she does most of her crimefighting with her light powers. Her second and more sexualized costume that she is forced to wear by Vought has boots with tall stiletto heels and Annie is shown in one scene with her feet in pain after having to make a public appearance with them on. Stormfront's boots have tall chunky heels, but since she's a Flying Brick, she doesn't have any issues when it comes to fighting while wearing them. Subverted by Kimiko/The Female, who typically wears practical clothing when going on missions. However, in one episode, she's forced to go undercover dolled up as an escort in Russia, complete with a sparkly dress and high heels. But when shit hits the fan and she is forced to fight, she quickly ditches the heels. |

Samus Aran in Metroid: Other M has what can best be described as combat wedges◊ on her Zero Suit. Concept art◊ from Metroid: Zero Mission had previously said to make sure the heel was not too high. The games developed by MercurySteam, Metroid: Samus Returns and Metroid Dread, also kept the heels, as evidenced by the concept art◊ in Returns which stuck with the Other M high wedges, although the Zero Suit model in Dread appears to lower the heels' height by an inch or two. One interesting thing that both these games did was to also add heels to Samus's Power Suit◊ itself◊. | |

In The Dresden Files, Lara sprints several blocks in impractical shoes. Harry lampshades this, and it's one of the facts that hammers home that she's not a muggle. Several pages later, she hammers the heel through a badass zombie's head. She's a vampire, she later drops from a helicopter in similar shoes. Running through a parking lot isn't even that impressive. | |

Galaxy Angel has only three of its main cast wearing heels, and rather low ones at that; the only one of the three to accurately apply to this trope is Ranpha Franboise, a martial artist (the other two that wear heels are Forte Stollen, a gunslinger, and Kahlua/Tequila Marjoram, a mage). All three cases in regards to embracing this trope in on-foot combat are justified due to their roles, as Ranpha has to get in close while Forte and Kahlua/Tequila can take a more long-ranged approach. | |

Adora Belle Dearheart wears high heels and notes that in pounds per square inch, it's "like being stepped on by a very pointy elephant" and that, thanks to unwanted ballet lessons from her childhood, she can "kick like a mule". Combined with the fact she's not really an Action Girl (of the combat-related type at least) and on a date at the time of first reference, it makes her footwear less impractical. She's also only ever described as kicking while sitting down. To make it simple, she stomps her heel down on the feet of annoying men, which thanks to her high and thin heels, has near armor-piercing qualities. It doesn't work on Trolls, though. |

Devil Hunter Yohko: Yohko's devil hunter attire includes a red pair of high-heeled pumps. Not only does she fight in them, but she's also even shown capable of sprinting through forests and across rugged terrain, without any signs of difficulty, as though she were in track shoes! | |

Due to the... unusual art design for Final Fantasy XII, it was long believed that Larsa Ferrinas Solidor's thigh-high boots were what have been described as "cherry red high-heeled Sunday pumps." The contrast of the red and green on his boots actually makes it appear as if he's wearing high-heels, and red ones at that. | |

The incarnation of Shiva from Final Fantasy XIV wears very high stiletto heels in her outfit. She even utilizes them when performing her signature attack Diamond Dust, stomping on a character's head after surrounding the arena with ice crystals. Since she can levitate around on the battlefield, mobility is a non-issue for her. | |

Millenia from Grandia II takes this to utter extremes. Not only does she always fight in her high-heel boots (to be fair, with her stats, she is less of a melee fighter and more of a Squishy Wizard and the archer), but she also has a Limit Break attack called "Heel Crush", wherein she walks up to an enemy, uses a platform of Hard Light to lift herself just above their head, then stomps it viciously for massive damage. | |

In one of the Fearless novels, Gaia gets attacked by a bunch of thugs while dressed up for dinner with her dad. She reflects that one advantage of fighting in evening wear is that high heels can be used as a weapon. In her case, it makes sense that she would be able to fight in heels, as she's been extensively trained from childhood in every kind of martial art with a name. Even though she hates wearing heels, walking and fighting in them probably isn't much of a problem for her. | |

Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina all partake in the combat-oriented mini-games of the Mario Party series in their high heels (justified as they don't have any alternate outfits in those games).

Resident Evil: Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 wears high heels to go along with her evening gown. The opening cutscene of Resident Evil 5 introduces us to Jill Valentine, who wears high-heeled boots through the entire game. Sheva's BSAA outfit wears some boots with semi-reasonable heels and she does plenty of high kicks and flips. All of her alternate costumes also include high heels. Jill's BSAA outfit actually has some sensible boots. Excella Gionne wears high heels in her default costume and actually uses them on knocked down Majini during The Mercenaries Reunion minigame. Helena from Resident Evil 6 always wears high heels, even when she changes her outfit before going to China to deal with Simmons.. The first offense can be partially justified since she didn't fully expect to be involved in a zombie outbreak, but she's still a Secret Service agent. Claire also wears heels in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and so does Alex Wesker a.k.a the Overseer to go along with her elegant sense of fashion. Alex notably loses them after her mutation. Moira has a sensible choice of footwear, though. Cindy from the Outbreak games also wears heels. Made all the more peculiar in the fact that she's a waitress, who normally wears comfortable shoes due to all the walking involved in that job. |

This trope is discussed in My Huntsman Academia. Pyrrha, Blake, and Weiss wear high heels into combat, but they're only to make themselves look taller and more imposing when Izuku asks if they serve any practical purpose in combat. While Weiss won't admit this due to her relatively diminutive height, Pyrrha freely tells Izuku that she simply got used to fighting in them after her PR department made her wear them in her tournament fighting days. | |

All of the girls in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon have heels on their footwear. The series featured a lot more high kicks and flips than the anime did, so it's noticeable when you can see the Senshi wearing flat-soled boots during the fight scenes. The most noticeable flub was during Act 0: Birth of Sailor V! during which Sailor V's normal shoes are replaced by white sneakers for a few shots. | |

Fallout: New Vegas (and Fallout 3 too) had a few outfits with a perfectly suitable heel for a housewife at home, or a lady at an office, or to match a slinky black evening gown. Shame that you're wearing them in various barren wastelands, swamps, deserts, rubble-strewn ruins, and vaults ... with grated floors. They're back, albeit slightly lower, in Fallout 4. | |

In the Batman: Arkham Series, Catwoman and Batgirl wear high heels. There are practical combat uses for them however, for example, when Catwoman stomps on thugs' bellies or when Batgirl heels them in the face. This is to convey feminine inferiority in strength as the female characters don't have strong arm muscles like the male characters and therefore have to rely more on their legs (additionally, they also have to use their whole body movements to lift up enemies and they cannot use enemies' weapons; also, Catwoman cannot ride Titans in Batman: Arkham City because her arms aren't meant to be that strong). Harley Quinn also wears high heels in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City (in both of which she's not playable) and the classic jester skin in Batman: Arkham Knight; her default Goth skin in Knight only has her wear low-heeled boots because she relies more on her baseball bat than on her legs. | |

In Saints Row: The Third (and IV, by extension), you can wear 5 inch platforms without having difficulty moving. But then again, this is the game that allows you to juggle pedestrians 50 feet in the air using explosive ammo. Realism isn't particularly high on its list of priorities. The same applies to Shaundi as part of her sexified revamp. Also available in Saints Row 2, for the fashion-conscious boss. Including some graphics issues when it tries to force the Boss to stand flatfooted despite her office pumps. |

Several of the active-duty superheroes and sidekicks in Heroine Chic employ this trope in their costume: Avalon's costume, designed by Dyna Cuff, features over-the-knee boots with chunky, 3-inch heels. Laren's original "Liberteen" sidekick costume included boots with a pointy heel. Zoe's redesign got rid of the pointy heels and replaced them with what looks like a slim army boot. Zoe's first "Gilded Lily" costume is a self-described hot mess, featuring some sort of stylized, outsized glass heel that projects a good inch off the back of her foot (like a kid playing dress-up with an adult's shoes). It takes a while before she can control her Power Crystal's costume-generating abilities and replace the heel with sensible flat shoes. Paragon II's costume by Heroine Chic features knee-high boots with a tall (3-4 inch), chunky heel. Badass Normal Umbra annihilates the villainous Garmento's elite "Vowel" ninja squadron with her superior fighting ability, performing kicks and flips that would make an Olympic gymnast jealous — and she does it all in heels. |

Jiko Bou of Princess Mononoke uses Tengu-style wooden Geta sandals with only one tall "teeth" instead of the usual two. He's a covert operative sent by the Emperor, so he has the balance needed to walk, run and jump wearing them. | |

The X-Files: Scully. She's only 5'2", but the footgear issue was lampshaded in the episode "Hollywood A.D." when the actress playing Scully asks her how it's possible to run in heels that high (which Scully does have to do on the job). She then demonstrates and can be seen running back and forth in the background while Mulder has a conversation with the actor playing him. Once, she turned her heels into a self-defense weapon by kicking someone in the face while wearing them. | |

Mortal Kombat: In the early games, the women wore flat shoes due to being digitized live actors. Once gaming reached the 3D era though, Midway started adding progressively more Fanservice with each game. It got particularly bad in Mortal Kombat 9, where Sonya — an Army commando who dressed sensibly in most games, was wearing heels. Skarlett invokes this trope by stabbing her opponent in the eye with her heel. A welcome change in Mortal Kombat X is making the ladies more sensibly dressed: less Stripperiffic outfits and no stilettos. In Sonya's case, the change is justified as she is now a general, a mother, and simply a woman in her fifties and has likely outgrown dressing that way. While D'Vorah does wear heels, they're not outlandishly high and more like character heels. Tanya also noticeably wears a pair of high-heeled boots, and they are shown off in both her fatalities. |

Super Mario Maker features a new variation of the Goomba's Shoe called the Goomba's Stiletto. It defeats spiked enemies instead of just harmlessly bouncing off of them, applying a Super Mushroom to it gives it a Ground Pound function, and if you put wings on it, the fluttering sound that plays when double-jumping will be replaced with a Noblewoman's Laugh. | |

In an early episode of Quantum Leap, Sam Beckett "leaps" into a small-town coroner/mortician in the early 1960s, and has to solve the murder of a young woman. He discovers that the woman was killed by a jealous friend who took the victim's own spike-heeled shoe and hit her, driving the heel into her brain, in a manner very like the Robert De Niro film mentioned above. | |

The five main girls of Sucker Punch all wear high heels as part of their combat gear during their fantasy sequences. Of course, the emphasis is on fantasy sequence and the girls are superhuman in them anyway so it really doesn't hold them back.

In Wonder Woman, Diana wears wedge heels in her Wonder Woman costume, which are far more understated and stable than stilettos but still not as stable and sensible as flats. This was to ensure she'd be taller than the male supporting characters and because heels just look good. | |

Going Postal. Adora Belle Dearheart wears high heels and notes that in pounds per square inch, it's "like being stepped on by a very pointy elephant" and that, thanks to unwanted ballet lessons from her childhood, she can "kick like a mule". Combined with the fact she's not really an Action Girl (of the combat-related type at least) and on a date at the time of first reference, it makes her footwear less impractical. She's also only ever described as kicking while sitting down. To make it simple, she stomps her heel down on the feet of annoying men, which thanks to her high and thin heels, has near armor-piercing qualities. It doesn't work on Trolls, though. | |

Yellow Diamond from Steven Universe notably wears a pair of high-heeled boots and is one of the most powerful Gems in existence in the series. In one scene, she makes a dramatic entrance where she is shown heels first, much like Satsuki from Kill La Kill as described above. She is an outright giant compared to other Gems and in one fight, delivers a powerful stomp attack with one of her heels. As the "bodies" of Gems are actually Hard Light projections from their gemstones, they likely don't have to worry about balance issues. | |

The eponymous heroine of Bayonetta, as well as Jeanne. In both cases, the heels have been replaced with guns, with which she performs Gun Fu.

Watchmen shows the impracticality of this, when Silk Spectre's boots slip out from under her, as she's trying to fight off the Comedian's rape attempt. On the other hand, her daughter seems to have no problem fighting in them during the prison breakout scene. Although in an interesting real-life subversion, if you pause the movie during various points in Silk Spectre II's prison fight scene, you can see that the actress is, in fact, wearing flat-soled boots as she walks. She's only in the high heels whenever she doesn't have to do anything action-oriented, or when she has to plant a heeled foot on a mook's chest. | |

Final Fantasy VII Remake has only one scene, in the 10-second stretch where Tifa and Aerith fight off some of Don Corneo's mooks while in their Wall Market dresses. After Aerith started the fight with a Groin Attack, Tifa takes out the same mook with a roundhouse kick that lands heel-first. | |

Fables. Cinderella wears high heels most of the time, even when flats would make more sense. (Fables are Forever.) But she also shows how she can kick tail anyway, and weaponize them as needed. Subverted with Dorothy, as she's wearing special high heels. note The Silver Shoes. Yes, that Dorothy. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Maker features a new variation of the Goomba's Shoe called the Goomba's Stiletto. It defeats spiked enemies instead of just harmlessly bouncing off of them, applying a Super Mushroom to it gives it a Ground Pound function, and if you put wings on it, the fluttering sound that plays when double-jumping will be replaced with a Noblewoman's Laugh. One of the "Thing" stickers in Paper Mario: Sticker Star is a giant stiletto that crushes enemies repeatedly with its heel. Amusingly, the two dresses Mario can wear in Super Mario Odyssey, Peach's wedding gown and Hariet's dress, give him some pretty impressive heels to platform in. Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina all partake in the combat-oriented mini-games of the Mario Party series in their high heels (justified as they don't have any alternate outfits in those games). Pauline (whose heels are noticeably higher than the others, not to mention have ankle straps the others' don't) would also apply here should she join a later Mario Party roster. |

Armor Piercing is a +1/2 advantage in Champions to which the disadvantages Only When Kicking and Obvious, Inaccessible Focus: Stiletto Heeled Boots could be applied to make them quite affordable. In later editions (5th plus) one may simply purchase the Armor Piercing on a hypothetical Hand Attack equal to the character's best kick. |

Brittany from Glee is often cited both in-universe and by fans as being the best female dancer in the group. In the second season's Sectionals, she does an amazing dance with Mike (the best male dancer), and a large number of viewers were even more impressed that she did it all in heels. This is Truth in Television; Heather Morris was a dancer for Beyoncé before she was an actress, and female dancers often train themselves to perform in heels, not unlike dancing en pointe in ballet. | |

Persona: Many of the eponymous Personae come toting heels, or, as seen in the first and second games, digitigrade feet. A large slew of Kaneko Kazuma's Persona designs features both. Persona 3 has Mitsuru Kirijo, being the local badass Ojou, wearing some very sexy heeled boots into battle, and kicks her opponent during her Critical Attack. She once again fights in heels in Persona 4: Arena. In Persona 4, Kick Chick Chie Satonaka usually wears sensible boots and greaves as her weapons. However, her strongest weapons look like frilly pink high-heeled boots. Margaret, the Velvet Room assistant, will also fight you, toting a pair of beautiful blue high heels, but she floats during battle, so it doesn't really apply. Persona 5: Arsene, the Protagonist's main Fighting Spirit, has knives for stilts, which reach way past its shoes' soles. They're not just for show either: he uses them in his physical attack animations. Ann Takamaki wears thigh-high boots with these as part of her default Phantom Thieves attire. |

An episode of Batman: Wayne Family Adventures, appropriately titled "High Heels", is all about this trope. Stephanie/Spoiler has a mission coming up that will involve dressing up, including wearing heels. She won't be able to sneak in too much gear, meaning that, if she has to fight, she'll be doing so in high heels. Catwoman coaches her (and Damian) in this trope. It's pointed out how fighting in heels is difficult, uncomfortable, and dangerous, as both kids (who are experienced fighters) lose their balance and fall flat on their backs. | |

Jade from Dragon Quest XI wears high heels in all of her outfits, even when she's wearing a swimsuit, likely to keep from changing her character model too much. As a martial artist, she uses her legs in quite a few of her attacks. Krystalinda the Ice Witch also wears boots with high heels, as well, but she levitates in battle with the use of her magic so doesn't have to worry about mobility. | |

A significant portion of the cast in Azur Lane wears high heels. If a kansen isn't wearing high heels in her default outfit, there's a good chance that she's wearing them in an optional skin. Given that they slide along the water's surface ice-skating-style during missions, high heels wouldn't be that much of a hindrance. | |

Yakuza: Like a Dragon has the franchise's first playable Action Girl with Saeko Mukoda, who fights in a pair of stylish 4-inch pumps, who is also followed shortly after with Optional Party Member Eri Kamitaki who also wears a similarly tall pair, though with a bit of a wider heel. The next game in the timeline, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, upgrades Seonhee to this as she goes from being an NPC to a playable party member, and one of her special moves in her default job is even called "Sadistic Heel" as she stomps on a fallen opponent and kicks him with said heel. | |

A significant number of female heroines in Fate/Grand Order wear heels into combat. A short list includes knights wearing otherwise heavy armor (several variants of Artoria Pendragon even wear plated heels), Assassins that are supposed to be sneaky (Hassan of the Hundred Personas), and even the more delicate, Caster-style characters who thematically stay in the back but nonetheless get caught in combat (Medea Lily). | |

Final Fantasy series: Every Viera ever. They have digitigrade feet, so their heels are off the ground with or without the shoes. Exception: in the artwork of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and A2, which take place in the same universe as XII, Viera have rather reasonable heels and some even walk flat like the Assassin. In Dirge of Cerberus, Rosso clicks around in stiletto, thigh-high boots. To say nothing about her butt-cape. Due to the... unusual art design for Final Fantasy XII, it was long believed that Larsa Ferrinas Solidor's thigh-high boots were what have been described as "cherry red high-heeled Sunday pumps." The contrast of the red and green on his boots actually makes it appear as if he's wearing high-heels, and red ones at that. Another male example with Luso in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, as he has heels in his official artwork. His Cat Girl Adelle sports these as well. The Tactics Advance series, in general, has several instances of this, most notoriously, the hume Black Mage. Final Fantasy X: Lulu has been speculated to wear heels beneath her dress due to the sound her feet make on hard surfaces in the game. The official figurine solves this mystery — yes, she has feet; yes, she is wearing high heels. Final Fantasy XI's Kam'lanaut fits this trope to a T. By day, he wears garish wine-colored robes and gladiator sandals, but by night, he becomes a sorcerous Paladin wearing what are easily 6-inch stiletto-heeled sabatons. It doesn't help that he has Rapunzel hair that drags on the floor. Another male example is The Emperor in Dissidia Final Fantasy. It's been part of his design before that if you look at the Amano art, but they were actually emphasized in one cutscene. Rydia from Final Fantasy IV also wears high-heeled boots, but only as an adult. As a child, she prefers sandals or low-heeled boots, Depending on the Artist. Rather surprisingly averted in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, given how Stripperiffic some of Lightning's outfits are. Most of Lightning's garbs give her boots with low or medium heels. The incarnation of Shiva from Final Fantasy XIV wears very high stiletto heels in her outfit. She even utilizes them when performing her signature attack Diamond Dust, stomping on a character's head after surrounding the arena with ice crystals. Since she can levitate around on the battlefield, mobility is a non-issue for her. Final Fantasy VII Remake has only one scene, in the 10-second stretch where Tifa and Aerith fight off some of Don Corneo's mooks while in their Wall Market dresses. After Aerith started the fight with a Groin Attack, Tifa takes out the same mook with a roundhouse kick that lands heel-first. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Rouge the Bat, first introduced in Sonic Adventure 2, wears high-heeled boots that she has no problem running in, which can also be used to dig into the ground and kick her opponents. Since she normally flies or glides around, this is partially excused, but she sometimes is seen running to keep up with her teammates on the ground, like Shadow. Sonic Rush and its sequel have Blaze the Cat, who is almost always shown wearing high heels, yet she can run nearly as fast as Sonic himself. |

Catwoman in the live-action adaptations. In the comics, she usually wears more reasonable shoes. Noticeably jarring when in the Batman Returns mall her heels keep appearing and disappearing when she starts doing backflips and such. As portrayed by Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises, it is played straight.◊ Which is odd considering how much Christopher Nolan likes to go on about how plausible the Batsuit is. (It's a little hard to see because they appear to be made of metal and blend in with the concrete.) The heels are actual, serrated blades, and one poster◊ shows Catwoman symbolically stepping on and breaking a Batarang with said heels. Given the plausibility attributed to the Batsuit, one has to wonder how she actually made those shoes. Lampshaded the first time said bladed heels actually show up: |

Leverage: Subverted with Sophie. She's a grifter and therefore almost always wearing high heels, but kicks them off if the con goes awry and she needs to leg it, like "The Second David Job" and "The Reunion Job". Also in "The Reunion Job" both she and the female gun for hire kick their heels off before fighting each other. Played straight with Eliot's counterpart in "The Two Live-Crew Job", however. It's occasionally played straight with Parker who despite normally wearing flat boots and other practical clothing can easily backflip through laser grids in stilettos and cocktail dresses when she doesn't have time to change. |

Young Justice (2010): Tossed a Lampshade Hanging; Squishy Wizard Zatanna's normal costume includes square-heeled boots, which aren't as bad as they could be, but when Harm begins chasing her and she has to start Roof Hopping to get away, she casts a spell to turn them into flats. Read each word backwards: Miss Martian's default costume includes blue stiletto heels, but she a) flies and b) often uses her shapeshifting ability to switch her costume to a stealth mode palette, which swaps her white top, blue skirt, and heels for a black bodysuit and flats. Her powerset means she doesn't have to worry about running or balancing in heels, but she often foregoes them anyway. |

It's stated she has a pair of practical boots for when she goes out to do battle. | |

Final Fantasy X: Lulu has been speculated to wear heels beneath her dress due to the sound her feet make on hard surfaces in the game. The official figurine solves this mystery — yes, she has feet; yes, she is wearing high heels. | |

For reasons forever unknown to God and Man most of the Doctor's companions on Doctor Who elect to explore strange new worlds in three- or four-inch heels. Leela wore calf-length moccasins but judicious application of the pause button reveals that they were made with a wedge heel — because Louise Jameson is 5'6", and Tom Baker is 6'3". Subverted with Rose, Donna, and Amy. Most of the time all three are seen wearing sneakers. Donna explains it as follows: "Seriously, there is a ridiculous amount of running involved." River Song often wore heels when committing crimes, however when she did archaeology she didn't. Martha and Clara's frequent heel-wearing, on the other hand, can probably be connected to the fact that their actresses are both on the short side. |

Kill la Kill: As part of the over-the-top nature of the series, both Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin don high-heels, with Satsuki wearing them in both her normal school uniform and by both girls in their powered Kamui forms. Satsuki's heels are often prominently shown hitting the ground (with a distinctive CL-ACK! sound) whenever she makes a Dynamic Entry. Likewise (both for fighting and entrances) with Satsuki's mother, Ragyo. |

Soul Series: Ivy Valentine always wears heels, going with the dominatrix theme. Though she does actually make use of them by stamping on opponents while they're lying down and twisting her foot around. Ouch. Tira wears heels as of Soulcalibur V, and it carries over in Soulcalibur VI. 2B, from the aforementioned NieR: Automata, appears as a Guest Fighter in VI with this trope maintained. Amy Sorel gets a pair of heels to go with her dress in VI. |

Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has Lusamine, who is one of the hardest bosses in the franchise and wears heels. When you first battle her the intro animation is her doing a Heel Clank in a similar vein to Satsuki and Ragyo Kiryuin. Before her there are Gym Leaders Elesa and Valerie, from Unova and Kalos respectively. Both of them have fashion model experience, though Valerie has shifted to a fashion designer role by the Kalos games and Elesa drops her heels for off-colored flats in Pokémon Black and White 2. |

Evelynn in League of Legends sports a pair of noticeable heels in-game, and even kicks enemies sometimes with her physical attacks. She even points out the difficulty of walking in them. Ashe wears high-heeled boots in her Amethyst skin. The original splash art for her Freljord skin has them, but she has normal flat boots in-game. All of Miss Fortune's skins (save for one) wear high-heels in battle. An amusing example of this trope is her passive ability Strut, which increases her running speed the longer she is out of combat. The icon for this ability is her heels. Most of Vayne's skins have them, as well. Zyra has them, despite not actually wearing clothing. Even female champions that don't have heels in their default skin tend to have them in some of their other skins. |

Sistah Spooky's 6-inch platform heels are impressive — she can fly though. Emp herself can't wear shoes in costume... But the imitation costume she wears as part of a group of licensed superhero impersonators (in which she plays herself) has them. She's still wondering why. |

In Guns, Girls and Gambling, The Blonde has no trouble moving and fighting in six-inch stiletto heels, even running up the wall and jumping over The Indian when he has her arms pinned during their climactic fight. | |

Dr. STONE: They aren't exactly high heels per se, but the sandals all the villagers wear seem like they'd have the same effect. The bottoms are narrower than the soles, similar to Okobo, and the only reason the villagers don't trip over themselves all the time is probably that they've been wearing them their whole lives. Homura's outfit has knee-high boots with a similar tread. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Jeri Ryan actually insisted on this for Seven of Nine's costume. Something about the catsuit seemed to require them, apparently. Which doesn't make much sense for a practical Borg. Then again, the Borg never seem to run or engage in hand-to-hand combat, so it may work. | |

Fallen London makes these pretty literal with the Elevating Silk Slippers, obtainable only in summer events (once elections). Their soles are blades and the actual heels are actual knives sharp enough to crack cobblestones while you walk. They're tied for the most Dangerous-raising footwear in the game, on top of being quite Respectable and (somehow) getting you more in touch with Monstrous Anatomy. | |

In Off the Line, Rainstorm's shoes are these. They are literally so sharp that he accidentally killed a woman when he stepped on her. As the Fanservice Joke Race, high heels actually improve the balance and support of the Viera Race. Rainstorm slices a bounty hunter's throat open when he swipe-kicked him in his heels. | |

Charmed occasionally lampshaded this. One episode has Prue buying both her sisters an emergency pair of sneakers to slip on in case demons attack, and another has a replacement whitelighter criticise their clothing choices for fighting demons. Billie adopts an outfit for fighting demons with these shoes — and is told to give it up by the sisters. | |

Fiona on Burn Notice always dresses as if she is going to a cocktail party, and still manages to kick serious ass about 98% of the time. Though when she is planning to get into trouble she generally wears slightly more practical footwear (Wedge heels show up a lot, for the usual reason). | |

In Barb Wire, Pamela Anderson does a great deal of fighting in stilettos, with a lot of kicking. In the first dance of the movie during a dance, a man cat-calling her annoys her, and she removes one heel and throws it at him. It stabs him in the forehead, and he's dragged out unconscious by the bouncers. | |

City of Heroes: For females, most footwear options have stiletto heels to them, where in a male character the same clothing choice would be flat. Yes, one of the female heroine's natural abilities seems to be kicking ass in six-to-eight-inch heels. The other is the Most Common Superpower. This was actually cut down in its close relation Champions Online. There are now far more flat and moderate heel options and even the high heels are mostly thicker character heels (a dancing heel). | |

Sailor Moon: Most of the Sailor Senshi have heels on their shoes. Rei/Mars, who wears red stilettos, even mentions it in a pre-battle speech in the manga. Though the creator of Sailor Moon is a straight woman. She really likes drawing shoes. Mars' red stilettos are her favorite. Interestingly, Sailor Venus has a tendency to kick her enemies' throats with her heels: she apparently realized what she could do by weaponizing them. The fact she has possibly the shortest heels of the group just means she has less trouble performing a Flash Step before the kick. |

Super Smash Bros.: All the regal fighters have used them at least once: Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Princess Zelda, and Rosalina (which are not such a bother for her as she mainly floats around the battlefield). Zelda temporarily dropped the heels after Melee in favor of boots, but goes back to sandal-like heeled boots in Ultimate. Zero Suit Samus gets a pair of them in Wii U/3DS, but instead of just cosmetic, they also double as Rocket Boots. They're called "Jet Boots" in-universe, and make her kicks pack more oomph. Their appearance also makes it more literal than the wedges from her Other M appearance. |
