#While a little more on the expensive side- 5.11 boots are awesome

[tiredsn0w]

How tall is 049 in your AU (if that’s what it’s classified as), and how much do his ✨HIGH HEELS✨ add to his height? Also, did he learn how to walk in em from experience? And are his tendons kinda screwed up from wearing them, or does his biology keep that from happening? Sorry if these are weird questions, I just got curious

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope your day goes well!

Hello! I would not really classify my writing as an AU because it's on the actual SCP Wikidot site, within the main canon besides for the UnHuman works (though they do cross into the main canon), so it takes place within the SCP universe instead of an alternate one. However, I definitely get what you're trying to say :)

I've stuck with his height being 1.9m, though that's only 2 sig figs so I'd say between 1.85m and 1.94m is probably fair to assume also. (I've usually kept to the upper end because there's some writing where he's described as looming or imposing, and I think it fits him well.)

In terms of high heels, I've imagined them more built into the boots. For example, I have a pair of shoes that a family member got for me. He's a first responder so they're the good stuff, 5.11 tactical boots, they're the only pair of shoes I wear and I love them immensely.

Anyways, you can look up photos of them and they're totally flat, there's no "heel" per se. But it's been measured and they add like 5cm (~2 inch) to my height, without causing any problems for me (I was a toe walker and have been in PT for years for it, so I would know).

So I can easily see him wearing some boots like that, that also have a small heel on them. I think 5-8cm of total added height isn't too extreme, which would make him at least 1.90m and at max 2.00m.

I don't think it would mess his tendons up too bad, because if we're keeping with the bird-like anatomy (and if you're a purist, his clothes being part of his body, including his shoes), they have digitigrade posture, which would mean for a naturally shorter leg tendon.

He's also already on the taller end, so I don't see him putting extra strain on his body for only a few cm. I have a friend with flat feet who has problems all the way up to his shoulders because of it-- everything in your body is connected! Sometimes my chiropractor has to adjust my legs and hips because I leaned too far with my shoulders when drawing. I also had scoliosis for years that was fixed by simply adding something to the bottom of one of my feet. Bodies are so interesting and complicated like that.

Hopefully I didn't text-wall too much-- thank you for the question! I hope your day is also going well. :)
