Something I never really understood in X Files is that Scully was always wearing heels. How is that practical when treading through forests, fields and caves? She should have been given a sensible wardrobe with flat shoes!
It was the 90s. That was women in a professional workplace standard.
I remember reading in passing about some biker chicks, from when it was supposed to be men's occupation. They got an advice from someone older: that men would hardly believe that women belonged on bikes at all — so to properly dunk on men, these gals needed to ride well while also looking good. Cue high-heel boots and the whole fashion outfit.
It might be a bit of a similar situation with Scully, seeing as she was a trailblazer character.
I mean her power suits were quite fetching, you have a very valid point.
My toes were sore just by looking at her sprint in heels, poor baby. And I doubt Mulder had the compassion to run her a foot bath and give her a massage, that self-absorbed jerk grumble grumble
I see you don't subscribe to shipping those two.
Nah nah nah he doesn't deserve her
High heels were originally worn by men when they rode horses. The pronounced heel helped lock into stirrups.
I imagine heels also help lock into motorcycle pegs.
Mmmmmmm Scully riding a Hayabusa......... Now that's a thought
