Because not having Heels would be silly. (EVE Online)

I setup a trial account for EVE Online; the new 'Incarna' version of the game features a character creator that is actually very impressive.  I ended up spending about an hour seeing what it was capable of; it took about that time for me to notice that female characters are required to wear High Heels.

Don't know why I'm surprised.

For what it's worth most of the footwear does seem pretty stylish; I just wish my corporate jackboot had the option to wear actual boots.

Tried making a male character but had trouble finding the 'not a steroid-riddled muscular freak' slider.

I'm nitpicking though; so far it's a pretty impressive game.
