Fashionable Footwear

I'm not sure that this is the place to share this post but I am hoping it is.

I want to post here in the hopes that I am not the only one who is displeased with her shoe collection. I have played as both female highlander and, more recently, femroe. While I can wear everything from fancy ballroom dresses, to armor bordering on lingerie; It seems my footwear is limited to 3 options: sandals, "smart shoes", and astronaut boots.

I would not be caught dead wearing any of the shoes I have as options now. The sandals are ok but not appropriate for most events. The "smart shoes" are gauche flats that a frumpy librarian would wear, and any kind of "armored" footwear looks like I have 3 foot thick cankles (ESP on roe). What does a girl gotta do to get a killer pair of stillettos? What about Dorothy's ruby heels? Cinderella's glass slipper?

What i would REALLY like is a nice pair of flattering, calve hugging, leather boots with a high-heel (i have many nicknames for these boots but they aren't ones I can post here). While some people might argue that these would not be appropriate for battle, my hempen camise isn't exactly chainmail and is quite a bit more suggestive than giving me a sexy pair of boots.

I to, would love some heels. Shiva gets some! Why can't we!?

OMG YES!!! And you can tell how good those heels are for girlfriend's glutes!

I'm with you on this. I wish we had more heels to choose from.

But not like the "heels" we have now. A 1" flat heel is what you'd have on men's dress shoes D: The "Mary Janes" aren't doin it.

I think it's just that it would take too much modifications to the character models they're already using to add high heeled shoes to the game at this stage - even though I too would love to see some nice high heeled boots! :D

Oh what the hell, please SE, take note of this! Give us some nice heeled shoes! :D

Unfortunately the animation system doesn't seem capable of changing our characters' heights. Obviously thick clogs like the Valentione Pattens don't actually change the height of your character - rather they just make the lower leg shorter. The BLM pvp hooves drastically "shorten" the calves in exchange for the illusion of tiptoes. How stumpy do you want to make your characters' legs appear in order to give them 4" heels?

Shiva's heels are moot because she's a custom model with custom animations.

The Bard's sandals look to have about a 2" lift so heels of that height ARE possible.

The malestrom has some decent looking black boots but they are flat.

Well, they don't necessarily have to have a 4" heel, but just a little bit of lift would be nice. There are so many otherwise nice looking footwear in this game except that they're just completely flat on the bottom. I understand heeled foot gear won't adjust the character's height, so I think too high and it would just look odd, but I'm sure there's a middle ground they could work with.

I kinda think the high heels gonna be like BLM's shoes pvp gear

Ah yes, the dilemma of not having that perfect shoe to fit the occasion! Totally understandable my fellow fashionista.

All the suggestions in this thread are really great; however, in order for the development team to add such fashionable designs they would have to make adjustments to each character’s ankles, which could result in certain animations being affected. Naturally this is not a desirable side-effect, so it’s a bit difficult to add in all of these suggested designs.

However, the haute couture driven development team will be looking into whether they can add new boots with high heels similar to that of the wolfseye PvP gear. In the event that they are added, I wish you luck keeping them clean while traversing through battlefields!

I love the heel that the female elezen RSE boots come with. They are so stylish with their chunky wedge heel that I just adore them whenever I am elezen. They obviously are wearing a heel without any visible change to their ankles or anything like that.

More styles using the female elezen boot heel, please!

Speaking of which, would it be possible to add shoes with heels like this? >.>

If you're going to change anything, please allow us to be barefoot. It's really disappointing that my "naked feet" still have sandals.

*Squeeeeeeeeee*

This is the second best news I've heard since DRK announced. You guys are the best!

Lol as I was reading this I was thinking about that wolveseye gear. It looks kinda goofy but I can see it looking really awesome with a "hooker boot" style of high heel. The precedence is there, Cant wait to see them expand on it.

I still can't wrap my head around how Rachel walks in those...

Because she has the wind, magic & her familiars keeping her upright. Plus she is an aristocratic heiress so I'm sure she had to go through some royal manners course thingamajig.

I, for one, would like to see some shoe options that include longer socks/stockings. It seems that your only options for long-socks are in the legs category which of course kills a lot of choices.

While I have been using a pair of flats with socks that come to mid-calf I would much rather a pair of cute shoes with something that came to mid-thigh to go with the spring skirt.

They already have a number of tall boots (some of which come to the thigh!) but they are often chunky and don't fit the more casual aesthetic that some of the glamour options make available.

Heels would be nice too!

I'm a huge sucker for shoes and I'm always internally sobbing that there's nothing cute.

DoM? Clunky winter boots, sandals (that generally look pretty meh), slippers (Black Mage, Vanya, etc) wooden slippers (crakows), or stuff that's just too weird to wear (Scylla). I fell in love with the Wolfseye Thighboots the second I saw them...Still haven't gotten my PvP rank high enough for them though. :( Plus, I've stopped playing my BLM for the most part.
DoW? Clunky boots, gladiator sandals, wooden slippers, and a whole lot of chunky random hide with spikes sticking out.

I don't even care if they're craftable and I have to sell catnip on the side to get them. I really, really want cute shoes. No pointy toes, no elf shoes, and no random spikes or winter boot padding plz.

...I'd sell my soul for a few heels - as long as they fit the game and weren't stripper heels smashed in, but still real heels (not kitten heels - those aren't heels). But really, cute shoes in general are very much needed.

Ha. I agree, but let's not stop with just females (as there's alot of shoes on the male side of the fence in this game I would not kick even a dead corpse in).

I'd like more thigh/calf high options like the Saurian boots I think it is...

Please, please, please, please, pleeeeeaaaaaaase!

Bayonhe-san! We know you don't mind sleeping with shoes, but.... It's... >.<... A bit.. Uncomfortable? for the rest!


Take in mind this post again: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...other-glamours

Not only that most foot wear is ugly is the trouble, but also not being able to be barefoot really pisses us off sometimes >_<... (Have to add, the demon sandals were a nice addition though. But, still, no barefoot option yet.)

I would LOVE something along the lines of Converses. Simple and I dont even care what color! I've been doing alot of research trying to find a pair of shoes that are at least ok to look at. Hope they add in some new styles but no sandals or boots please :/.

I found Serahs shoes, look like white converses with black soles. Please put them or something similar in game!! :P

I noticed in the promo shot for the bunny outfits that the shoes are black and have a small kitten-style heel. The bow kinda kills it for me though.

Yes.

That's about the same 2" lift of Bard's Sandals or the eternal devotion shoes.

Or, for that mater Capizeo jazz pumps

Which come in many styles and lifts, I prefer their Mary Janes IRL.

Bump

Just for the halibut

On the note of being shoeless in bed, even if we coulf have JUST socks/stockings with NO shoe that would be wonderful.

Whatever except the shoes please, indeed!

Makes no sense at all. Hope that, or being able to be really barefoot.

Hey what about us guys I really like a lot of the boots for when I'm in full combat gear but what about some more casual apparel? The closest things to sneakers are the sailor deck shoes so I had to dye them for all my wedding attendance outfits. Come on yoshi P we have nice glasses why not some fresh kicks?

I really like the new caster crafted boots. I like things that don't make my "lady shrek" feet look like tree stumps.

The Thigh high boots from the new Crafter set (level 58) Blue scrip might just be my favorite boots to date. and since they are DoH they are all jobs O.o

Bard shoes.
