You see, when the world needs saving, cinematic heroines still have to bring their A game—and by that I mean their most fashion-forward heels. Running from literal dinosaurs, hunting down mutant vampires, intricate sword fights, or an alien battle royale isn’t an excuse to let your ensemble suffer, ladies. Who wants to see a combat boot kick its way to victory? Gross!
If those ankles aren’t strong enough to bolt from danger in stilettos, fear not! Hollywood has cooked up a fun alternative: the wedge heeled boot (see: Wonder Woman, Æon Flux, or any of the Marvel Universe women). It has all of the look of a flat shoe with none of its functionality!
So forget your “Katniss Everdeens” or your “Furiosas” with their sensible footwear and noble causes—the only thing you need to kick ass is a pair of pumps.
