Actually, a major reason I refuse to wear heels is the noisy feature.  I feel
safer walking home at night if it's not obvious to everyone around for a block
that it's a woman walking home ("click, click, click, click").  A related issue
is that once I'm heard by, say, someone with aggression to strangers on their
mind, I can't run away fast and I can be tracked by sound ("clickclickclickclick").
