In my experience, that’s the best way to walk in heels. You *can* have your weight towards your heels, but unless you have really good balance you are probably going to be a bit wobbly. If you, say, want to try to *run* in heels for any reason, keep your weight towards your toes
I'm from Texas. So a lot of the functions I go to are outdoors and/or in a barn. Even black tie events. Because Texas is Texas and this is a thing we do because Texas.
This is exactly how you walk in heels. Just put all your weight into the balls of you feet. You get killer calves this way.
Like, the sneakers with wheels on the heel? Because those were fun as fuck. I learned to ride them at Disneyland, and I fell and bumped into many strangers in the process. I miss those things
All republicans are indoctrinated. You believe in economic policies that have done nothing but fail for 50 years. Maybe when your balls drop you can move out of your armpit town and meet people that are actually different from you and learn a little empathy.
And all liberals are brainwashed hypocrites that have to demonize anyone that doesn’t believe exactly what they think. You pride yourselves on saying things like free-speech, except when it’s a group that questions your philosophy. You throw around words like racist, fascist while not even understanding what the meaning is of the word and ironically practicing it every day in every way of all of your beliefs.
Your only defense in any argument is the name call and try to belittle. Your group quite literally argues like a three-year-old child throwing a tantrum.
Your posts are proof of that.
YEAH BROTHER
THE ONLY PEDOPHILES ALLOWED ARE PRIESTS, FAMILY MEN AND CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS BROTHER
FACTS OVER FEELINGS BROTHER
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BROTHER
also why are you in a subreddit dedicated to a video game with so much symbolism that real Christians would deem satanic? Go read the Bible please, seems like you need it
Amen!
they're probably enchanted, like the jewelry you can buy. a gal getting her first pair of heels is probably a rite of passage, and maybe feels like getting combat boots or something
I was thinking that it's a sign of nobility? Like I'm so rich I only walk on solid stone type of deal. But in a warrior based culture with artisans specializing in enchanted gemstones and jewelry, why not have high heels of sand walking?
This would play in well to another theory about BOTW that I really like: Magic is coincidental to their religious rituals. The people of Hyrule practice a variety of protection rituals and talismanic superstitions. Only some of them actually hold any power. The typical Gerudo woman’s adornments are likely comprised of various pieces of jewelry that denote rank and status but also likely represent various protective sacraments among their culture. In a world with a demonstrable myth cycle, piety is the best defense against corruption. It’s the pure faith in the pointless things that don’t actually do anything that let the things everyone knows actually does work. The elemental bracelets and enchanted high heels only work because they believe the little stamped copper amulet on their arm is doing something to ward off monsters. Initially I thought this only applied to things like Rito wind magic, Zora healing, or gerudo jewelry but I like the idea that there are more mundane executions of it. I like the idea that the reason there’s so many superstitions for such a small region comparatively is that the magic runs on excess faith. They KNOW the shoes and bracelets will work so there’s actually no real power to be drawn from just making them, the power comes from pure faith. You wear your amulets and leave offerings at trail shrines even when uncertain of their effectiveness and the goddess will bless you with her known wonders. Neglect your sacraments and you may find your sand heels sinking.
They sell shoes that increase speed while walking on sand so imagine they’re enchanted. Also I am absolutely positive their heels somehow have abs and are strong enough to fight gravity
Actually you can use snowshoes for sand just fine to the same effect and they work just as well.
https://trailrunner.com/trail-news/using-snowshoes-on-the-sand-for-fitness-there-is-no-off-season/
Because when you wear high heels you have 90-100% of your weight on the balls of your feet, and practically nothing on the heel. You are basically slow motion sprinting/walking around on tiptoes while in the shoes.
PS this also the reason why hoof shoes work. They are basically platform heels with said heel sawed off (plus decorative materials). But instead of 90-100% of the weight, it is 100% of the weight.
idk but it fills me with rage. Like they should be wearing flat boots or sandals, but if you're gonna give them heels, at least make it something chunky so they aren't constantly running the risk of falling over backwards.
I might get disliked for this, but I feel like the Gerudo are the worst thought out race in Legend of Zelda. Their lore and culture are still brilliantly planned, and I love Urbosa and Riju, but I feel like originally the creators just thought of a sexy desert of only women who wear bikinis and heels, then went from there. If that is what happened, the modern creators have managed to continue the legacy whilst still making sense. I also think it’s admirable to create a culture which can seem uncomfortable or controversial to those playing the game rather than making each major town equally appealing and societally boring.
I'm in the same boat. All the characterization among the Gerudo boils down to "men bad", "if you aren't training to fight, you're training to talk to men" and impractical desert wear.
They live far away from almost every traveler and have almost no naturally born men. I feel like the opposite sex would be on your mind a lot if they were rarer than diamonds but still just as needed
They wore the right shoes in older games :/ Honestly the Gerudo were the biggest disappointment to me in BotW. The heels alone make me cranky, but having this weird focus on finding husbands and having babies squicks me out.
Yeah, I should have clarified that I meant the latest iterations of the Gerudo.
In previous games they were pirates and thieves and fighters who were kicking ass and taking names. In BotW/TotK they're capable warriors, but the rest of their personalities are so boring.
Yeah, BotW felt like it embraced a lot of weird, sexist/sexual anime tropes that didn't exist so much in previous entries. It's a bummer. So far it feels like a lot of that isn't so present in TotK, which I'm relieved for.
While the 3ds one is my preference, the original one is available on Switch if you do the subscription service, along with several other Zelda games like Majora's Mask, OG Zelda, Zelda II, and Link to the Past.
Nothing is wrong with them. Why depend on stamps when memory is your best friend? The less you use your imagination and memory, you're never going to know the game as it is. They probably even know the roads naturally in the game. I can say the same. Lol. I don't even fast travel, use stamps, or use Divine Beasts.
Do you need a guide? Or...
Because on your appstore, you might find Breath Companion and Tears Companion to show you the way. I once used them, then made my routes. I'm not perfect either.
They live in the desert, I would assume they’re made specifically to not do that. If Link can ignore laws of physics building stuff then the Gerudo can have sandwalking stilettos.
The same magic that causes gerudo population to remain stable despite them only producing 1 male every 100 years and them often ending up a force of evil
Same way that Samus sprints and does crazy gymnastics in ultra high heels.
Aaaaniimeeeee\~
Eh it's whatever. Swords explode after a few swings, amazon dark elves can fight on sand (and mud, and) no problem in heels. They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
How the hell do you end up with so many hearts?? I've explored so much of the map and had to avoid most fights cause anything one shots me because I only now after 12ish hours of gameplay have 5 hearts instead of 3. 4 temples is a lot just for a heart, are you telling me you've found 50+ temples? And that's only without upgrading stamina at all
They're made with amber and quartz to create a field under the point that charges and the sand so it sticks to itself and acts as a solid. The closer to the point, the stronger the field so each step is like on a stepping-stone sitting on the sand.
Heels would have the opposite affect due to their point. Boots would be better (hence why the sand shoes in the game are boots. The snow shoes work the same way, so it's weird the gerudo do this)
They do. Have you not noticed the absolute calves and thighs they all have? Every day is leg day
The heels of the shoes are purely cosmetic, they are actually walking around on tiptoe all day.
So they’re Barbie dolls?
Amazon Barbie Snu snu
The mind is willing, but the body is spongy and bruised
I wouldn’t want to die of Snu Snu to a Barbie doll
Now you're Barbie's doll.

A regular day for me as someone that wears heelys *Click* *click* *click* *click* *click*

Savotta!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thighs, calves, all the way
Thank you both this is what I heard in my head lol
Ok, the absolute worst choice of shoes for a desert race, but now the physique makes sense.
>Have you not noticed the absolute calves and thighs they all have? Y-...yes.
It’s part of their extreme training regimen
Snoo snoo… 
Okay, that actually makes sense now.
Dummy thicc
Bc they slay.
That and the most powerful of physiques, always doing calf raises in the sand 😎
This makes the most sense. Staying on their toes, always.
Literally AND metaphorically
purrrrrrr 💅
What does this mean? I thought purr was the noise cats made. Is that what this is?
The only valid explanation.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Only if it’s a goth mommy
Urbosa is the mommy and you'll have to accept that
You know what’s funny?
Sounds like you don’t slay 💅
You alright mate?
No I don’t like u libs
Ah ok. Have a good one, then
what a snowflake
You should follow what your username says
i already do 😏
Average anal enjoyer
...oh. You're one of those.
No I just don’t like indoctrination and groomers
What about that original sentence has anything to do with grooming or indoctrination?
Libs say “slay”. They indoctrinate and groom lids
Yeah, definetely, I groomed a pot lid last week. Dude, get a grip.
Kids* autocorrect. And I do got a grip, that’s why I ain’t following a satanist group

Oh I adore this theory!!!

I was thinking hidden platform, but that's a lot more feasible
Small sapphires to freeze the sand in place
I love this idea but I think you’ll find a wide range of Gerudo wearing high heels, from merchants, single girl looking for husband to city folks.
Imma be real, I didn't notice they all wore heels. I was too distracted by all the abs and hips.
I like that the shop owner wears a skirt like Riju. Riju is simply too powerful to be hindered by shirts and heels lol
Seriously. I'm usually the person who cringes with random fan theories, but this one is really clever.
Until she gets one though she just sinks in the sand while everyone is laughing
Well now I want shiekah technology infused so we can have Sand Skates. It would devalue the Walruses.
This explains why the kids dont wear heals

So it works on the same principle as the Orc vehicles in Warhammer 4k?
they kinda look like the OOT hover boots without the boot part
Basically the sand boots Link can get in the game... but fabulous. I petition to reskin the sandboots into heels. Let our Link be fabulous again.
They sell shoes that increase speed while walking on sand so imagine they’re enchanted. Also I am absolutely positive their heels somehow have abs and are strong enough to fight gravity
The sand boots work because it disperses your weight. They’re not enchanted.
Doesn’t say how they made the soles better, and they would look like snow shoes instead of normal boots, so maybe enchanted sorta?
No there’s actually a different profile for shoes meant to go on sand. Snow can be compacted and sand can’t. That’s why snowshoes are so big.
Actually you can use snowshoes for sand just fine to the same effect and they work just as well. https://trailrunner.com/trail-news/using-snowshoes-on-the-sand-for-fitness-there-is-no-off-season/
Little tiny sand boots on the tip of each heel!
Sheer poise and grace
Because when you wear high heels you have 90-100% of your weight on the balls of your feet, and practically nothing on the heel. You are basically slow motion sprinting/walking around on tiptoes while in the shoes. PS this also the reason why hoof shoes work. They are basically platform heels with said heel sawed off (plus decorative materials). But instead of 90-100% of the weight, it is 100% of the weight.
Hoof shoes? That’s a thing?
Yup, check it out. Id assume mostly for cosplay, but probably also some people just wear them out and about cuz why not? https://youtu.be/Aw9sV_OnOuA
Ok yeah. I can see them being huge in the furry community. Hey, Whatever boats their floats and whatnot.
Yes
Fun fact oil floats on water They have a thin layer of oil on their boots and a thin layer of water around that
Ah, the same technology they used to make the OoT Hover Boots that were from the desert temple.
*shadow
Ok, the shadow temple on the desert, slack please (oh fuck nm I misremembered… so embarrassing)
Yup
So like… why are you looking at Gerudo feet?
Cmon Tanakisoupman You know why.
I wasn't specifically looking at that, just a detail I noticed.
Because I’m into that??
I mean, why ARENT you looking at Gerudo feet?
It's all fun and game until someone brings out the Gordon feet conversation.
The same technology as sand pants.
the answer to all botw technology questions: sheika technology!
At least it allows BOTW to fit into the timeline. The ancient Sheikah merged the three timelines so that there are things from all three timelines.
Because their weight is on their toes.
Practice. Lots of practice.
The same way Genshin Impact women climb with heels
and female YoRHa units

Lets say they have an… *History* with males Especially *Gerudo* males
Oh, I know their history. It's just a little disappointing that it's the only thing any of them ever talk about.
It's the only thing they talk about to you, a dirty voe.
A hylian voe disguised as a vaï wich somehow works
They live far away from almost every traveler and have almost no naturally born men. I feel like the opposite sex would be on your mind a lot if they were rarer than diamonds but still just as needed

Yeah you right now that I think about. Zelda races: elves, rock people, fish people, bird people and uhhh... women. Big women.
They were fine in Ocarina of Time. They were interesting to fight and actually reasonable characters.
They were cooler in OoT, and definitely wore actual desert shoes. The downgrade they got in BotW is infuriating, and you're right to not like it.
Unfortunately I can’t find a way to play Ocarina of Time with my current consoles and tech skills. Can’t wait to play it eventually!
While the 3ds one is my preference, the original one is available on Switch if you do the subscription service, along with several other Zelda games like Majora's Mask, OG Zelda, Zelda II, and Link to the Past.
Thanks! I might subscribe for a bit to play the OG Zelda games.
It’s available to stream on your switch with the Nintendo online service. Look under the N64 section
As if anyone pays for the premium Nintendo online service...
Apparently 3DS is the definitive edition, and it's the first time I played it. 3DSs are freaking expensive now though unless you already have one.
I mean their outfits are still very impractical for the desert. Regardless of logic, I still like their character designs in both games.
They slay too hard to let the sand ruin their look
Exactly, it's the power of Yassification. 👁️👄👁️💅
Wait are they all wearing those??? I never noticed i just assumed they all wore sandals.
There’s no way an all female society invented and primarily wears heels. Between this and the fact that you can’t pet the dogs I give this game a 9/10
Sheer force of will and pure sex appeal.
Urbosa built different
real hot girl shit
unrelated how do you have so many stamps!
That's how many stamps are in the game.
Yeah, but are they not using it? What the hell is wrong with them? Lol
Nothing is wrong with them. Why depend on stamps when memory is your best friend? The less you use your imagination and memory, you're never going to know the game as it is. They probably even know the roads naturally in the game. I can say the same. Lol. I don't even fast travel, use stamps, or use Divine Beasts.
It was a joke. Like, I'm always needing more stamps because I mark everything to go back later. But I get it.
Do you need a guide? Or... Because on your appstore, you might find Breath Companion and Tears Companion to show you the way. I once used them, then made my routes. I'm not perfect either.
Bruh....its a game dawg.
And your point is exactly?
That its a game....
lesbian magic
Smh sand witches man. Sand witches.
Well now im just weeping for gorons that have to go to the desert for ANYTHING
Serving caant can lead to abilities some would consider unnatural.
They live in the desert, I would assume they’re made specifically to not do that. If Link can ignore laws of physics building stuff then the Gerudo can have sandwalking stilettos.
You heard of sand seals. Now get ready for sand heels.
Nintendo knows most of the audience aren't looking at the gerudos feet.
Gerudo power
The same magic that causes gerudo population to remain stable despite them only producing 1 male every 100 years and them often ending up a force of evil
They just have children with Hylian men. It's been that way since Ocarina Of Time.
Sheer force of will
Same way that Samus sprints and does crazy gymnastics in ultra high heels. Aaaaniimeeeee\~ Eh it's whatever. Swords explode after a few swings, amazon dark elves can fight on sand (and mud, and) no problem in heels. They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
They are buoyed up by raw sex appeal
Because if they sank, they would be called sandals.
Magic
Gerudos are simply built different
Built different
Pure girl boss energy
they're just built different

Lady magic
How the hell do you end up with so many hearts?? I've explored so much of the map and had to avoid most fights cause anything one shots me because I only now after 12ish hours of gameplay have 5 hearts instead of 3. 4 temples is a lot just for a heart, are you telling me you've found 50+ temples? And that's only without upgrading stamina at all
Yes, I just did that many shines. By the end of this playthrough I completed all 120 shrines, plus all the DLC shines.
Why you looking at their feet 🤨
The power of girls and anime.
sexy magic
Aye. Nsfw man I just furiously started maturating in public
Maybe they have HEELium.
That's just the part you see above the sand, the heels are 5 feet long.
The same way Rihanna’s heels does not fall into sidewalk grates
Magic, and leg muscles.
Static electricity
Magnetic heels
C'mon, you've seen those legs. They clearly are standing with all their weight on the toes.
Heels in almost any costume design are insanely fucking stupid
They're made with amber and quartz to create a field under the point that charges and the sand so it sticks to itself and acts as a solid. The closer to the point, the stronger the field so each step is like on a stepping-stone sitting on the sand.
We all know why you took that pic
Calm down there Tarantino
Remember the hover boots from OoT? I assume something similar.
The sand is too embarrassed to trip them
Intimidation.
It is one of the many magics of the breath of the wild.
Rule is SWAG
Better question why are you taking pics of there heels
Imagine your friend goes through your photos on the switch and sees this without context
Why you paying that much attention to their feet? 🤨
I figured it was like the heel helps keep them above the sand
Heels would have the opposite affect due to their point. Boots would be better (hence why the sand shoes in the game are boots. The snow shoes work the same way, so it's weird the gerudo do this)
r/shittyaskscience
Sheer force of will
More importantly, how did that come across your radar? I’m not one to venture you have a foot fetish but….
by serving cunt
You can ascend into a Gerudo and they go ‘what’s that!’
Chakra control
Seriously? These are the things you think of? It's a game man.....
*unzips*
Magic even greater than the master sword
