Models are photographed on beaches wearing high heels a lot.  Heels give the wearer added height and make the legs look longer, giving a more slimming look.  

They could at least use their heels to spike some beach litter, clean up the place a little.

Better wearing heels that walking tippy toe all over the beach ... there's a FLAT feet setting in your body HUD ladies, use it!!

/me ;)

Now that we have shoes settled, can we confirm the rules around open toe heels and non-sheer stockings? Yea, nay, or when is it okay?

Models on the beach in RL would need to be standing on a piece of plywood or something hidden in the sand. You don't see RL models walking along the beach in heels the way SL girls do.

No. 😃

My feet are either invisible or tippy toes. Same goes for my male avatars, if you really want to drive yourself nutty thinking about that. 😁

Maybe it goes back to the days when mesh feet were in the heels? Worse you took them off and you just had the paddle feet? Or back when you had to detach your high heeled feet and reattach your flat feet. Or some people only had high heel slink feet.

…… you know how people hold on to things that are no longer necessary in SL. Like using a hud to change your foot type.

In SL?! That's completely acceptable athletic wear if you ask me! 🤣

Exactly the inspiration for the old photoshoot! :D

It's the perfect go-anywhere outfit; from the club to the basketball court, and even the beach.

I took my shoes off when I first went to an SL beach back when we had system feet. I had to make sandals out of a few prims because the feet were awful. When Slink feet came out I totally went bare foot at the beach.

Not so. I once saw a very beautiful girl walking Redondo Beach in Los Angeles while wearing a pair of 5" pumps and a one piece swimsuit. Of course, she was walking on the bike path, so the "plywood" part of your remark has some validity.

I think of her every time I neglect to take off my heels when walking a beach in SL.

Spend a bit of time on some of the beaches in California.  There really are people walking on sand in heels.  Yes, it is crazy, but they do it.

I have absolutely no trouble believing this having seen women in stilettos barreling at full speed across numerous lanes of NYC traffic dodging cars, people on bikes, crowds, you name it - trying to catch a taxi/bus/train/whatever.

At least in SL, there's no risk of breaking your neck, so there's that.

I think that is the beauty of SL, we get to do and wear stuff which we never could wear in RL for whatever reason there may be.
For example, just 3 days ago I took this pic (which I had to blur for the forum :D) and added the following comment 

Quote

Decided to go explore the jungle.
I know what you are thinking, those boots are no good for exploring the jungle.
You are right but by golly, do I look amazing!

(shouts "I agree!" flying past on my Pegasus) 😉

The "smart" people hover over the sand so they don't burn their feet!

ETA: It's like "hovering" over a toilet seat so you don't get your butt wet!
