QUOTE (CanRay @ Apr 19 2011, 04:17 PM) (BTW: Heels were originally men's fashion accessories, designed to help with riding horses.). Reminds me of my thinking that most religious decrees where at one time or other a law or local social convention to deal with some practical issue or other that is long since obsolete. |

QUOTE (CanRay @ Apr 19 2011, 07:17 AM) Or change shoes completely. Platform shoes for men, heels or flats for women. Or heels for men as well, who knows how fashions go (Beatle Boots come back?). (BTW: Heels were originally men's fashion accessories, designed to help with riding horses.). Or cut your legs off and get some nifty raptor legs instead. |

Wolf and Raven.
And the author wrote the character before the rules for Shadowrun were even made. |
