So... I see these people flouncing around in high heels from time to time, and so I'm curious... doesn't that hurt?? :D

No, actually, I'm wondering how they're walking on top of attached prims without them sinking into the ground. :) Are they using custom animations, or am I missing something? I want stilts, dammit. :D

And here I was thinking that LL had actually fixed that bug.

I'm not positive, but I don't think it's done with an animation.

I haven't had time to try this out yet, so it may not work....but here's what I think.

1) Create a pair of shoes in appearance, making sure to max out the heel and platform height.

2) For the heel, use the avatar masking script (I think it's a script) in a prim to cover the default shoe, and then make the heel you desire. The heel you make from prims should show through the invisible prim.

3) Cover the bottom part of the default shoe (under the toes) with a prim(s).

4) Link it all together and attach to your foot.

Gawd, I hope that made sense...kinda hard to write out when I haven't even tried it yet. I hope to test my theory within the next few days; If you try it before me, let me know if it works! I'll let you know what happens when I try it if I don't see anything here about it.

Some of them are done with animations. The animation raises you the distance off the ground the shoe designer wants, then often throws in other stances.

I'm not sure you need an invisible prim to hide the heel. The shoe apparence customizer thing let you make it very thin, it can easilly fit in whatever prim heel you want imo. (unless you want some weird design of course)

Spot on, I did exactly this with my roller skates. Basically the script in them causes the normal standing animation to be overridden with an animation made in Poser that's a standing pose but the whole avatar is raised above the floor a few centimeters. I had to do this because the skates were too bulky, and sank through the floor.

I suspect these shoes use the same sort of method.
