Could we perhaps try to be friendly or at least be respectful to one another? Our forums have for the most part always been places where you could voice an opinion and expect a reasonable reply back, and we'd like to keep it that way. I know this is a sensitive topic for some but there's no reason to debate it via personal attacks.
On the subject matter itself, opinions @Larian are mixed but there's been talk about changing it, though I think that was well before this thread popped up. It's not that high on the priority list however, and it apparently is more work to change than one would expect because it affects the skeleton that's being used in the animations. If I remember correctly (I'm sure one of the artists reading this thread will correct me if I'm wrong) the decision was that we'd eventually turn the heels into boots. When we had the talk about changing it, it was because indeed the feeling was that it didn't fit that well. That it didn't happen yet has more to do with our workload than anything else.
