I can't stress how much I love seeing women in TV and film in positions of action and authority in flat shoes. I recently finished 'StarTrek: Picard' and was irritated by Seven of Nine's heels with her Starfleet uniform. In contrast, in 'Strange New Worlds' (and also 'LowerDecks', but animated characters have less bone, joint, and tendon issues for the most part) so far, it's a sea of sensible flats! I put it to all that Jeri Ryan's legs would be just as banging as Rebecca Romijn's are in flat shoes.

I am not a heel hater, I have several pairs! But for real, I own flat boots for a purpose, and I find nothing more ridiculous, nothing takes me out of my suspension of disbelief than a women kicking butt in 3 inch heels. Beam me up? Sure! Fight the Borg in heels? Give me a break. Medical would be full of ankle injuries.
