im sick and tired of seeing these posts bitching about how unrealistic and “misogynistic” it was that claire dearing wore heels and ran in heels during jurassic world
YO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEMME LAY DOWN SOME SHIT FOR YOU
here’s a picture both from the movie and a movie poster of the shoes that claire wears in the film:
after consulting with some people, these heels seem to be around 2-3 inches. now when i saw the movie i was beyond thrilled that she wore her heels the entire time. i thought it kicked ass because damn that takes some real strength and balance. however after seeing people bitching about how unrealistic that was, i got pissed off. and here’s why:
i’m a woman who fucking loves high heels. in fact, i wear them almost every day. without my heels, i stand at 5'2". when i put on my everyday heels, i stand at 5′7″, adding 5 inches to my height. now i dunno how long claire has been wearing heels (we don’t get enough insight to her character to know, nor is it really important) but i’ve been wearing heels for about 5 years now (my heels have always ranged from 4 to 5 inches tall). i have walked and yes, i have even ran on gravel, mulch, dirt, and concrete in my 4-5 inch heels. i dont fall and i dont lose balance, in fact, i run better in my heels than i do in my flats or sneakers! so why is it so unrealistic that claire, a woman who has probably worn heels longer than i, ran in heels 2 inches shorter???? ive also seen people say that they would’ve fallen off or get stuck in the mud when they were in the mud/jungle area. whelp, here’s another fun fact for ya folks: when wearing a heel that PROPERLY fits your foot, it’s really difficult for them to pulled off/stuck in mud (and this is coming from a girl who had to walk across a muddy golf course in stilettos to get to her prom)! the heels would get all muddy and scuffed and you’d definitely sink into the mud but that’s it.
in short RUNNING IN HIGH HEELS ISN’T UNREALISTIC YES PLEASE KNOW THIS I WILL EVEN POST A VIDEO OF ME RUNNING IN MY 5 INCH HEELS IN THE SAME TERRAIN TO PROVE THIS TO YALL
