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!
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

It was the 90s. That was women in a professional workplace standard.

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
