I do recall one or two people posting about how they thought the high heels were sexist.
The good news for you, Kein, is that your preference of high heels is already in. It will cost Larian nothing to keep it in. The people who don't like it might be the ones who end up out of luck.
But tell me something: will you be upset if you can keep your high heels, AND there's an option to change them to boots for those who think it looks silly?
