Actually, concept art shows them with digitigrade feet (heel off the ground), just not wearing heeled shoes to "support" it - which makes much more sense to me anyway, for both genders. They shouldn't have evolved that foot shape if they can't naturally support themselves on it.

I also suspect heels would interfere with a proper digitigrade gait rather than support it. From trying it out, it feels like your heels need to be able to move up and down, not have a heel spike keeping it X distance off the ground.

Aside from 12 the official viera concept art shows them wearing standard boots and shoes just as often as barefoot or the heel-spike which would lead to the conclusion that it's simply a fashion choice

and you are correct if they had feet like an actual rabbit or kangaroo or whatnot. The heel would actually severely hinder their movement rather than offer support

xD That's what I meant, they still have the digi feet, but they're not wearing heels.

Every time I see this thread updated, there's a spark of hope that some new info came out, only to be crushed with an iron fist

Lol I don't see any new info being revealed this close to fanfest, but it's super close now!

Could be anything from a face type to having child models in-game but not playable.
