How is it not bringing RL politics into a game to not give women one single practical pair of shoes? They're pilots, not executive assistants.
The vehement reaction against this is telling. |

A constructive reply: The change you want probably won't happen soon.
The problem is that realistic collision detection is exponentially complex, with the exponent roughly corresponding to the number of different heights that the engine has to take into account. This is why, at present, all capsuleers are the exact same height, about 5'8"--men in flats, women in heels. Give women the option to drop to 5'5" or so in flats, and you've just made it harder. Making flats the default shoe for women is even more work, because all the models are designed to be 5'8" in heels. CCP would have to find some way to add a few inches of height to every female toon without making any of them look absurd. Not to mention that they'd have to have two default female poses, since heels change the way that you stand and walk.
I support the feature. Just be aware that implementing it has complications, and CCP will have to engineer around them. It's not as simple as adding flats to the character customization options. |

Your actual complaint is that CCP doesn't understand collision detection or programming, because that's the precise reason they gave when asked why all capsuleer avatars were the same height.
I'm sorry it's not satisfactory. |

My family has many of them. And there are many men taller than 5'8" as well. Only CCP can answer your objection, since you insult and abuse anyone who tries to share with you why CCP made everyone the same size.
Good luck. |

CCP karkur links to two videos explaining the reason that everyone's the same height here.
Put your programmer hat on, and enjoy. |
