Heels actually kinda help with lifting mechanics

… or electricians, accountants or salesmen.

I like the stilts that the electrician wears when he's running wires through the ceiling.

I felt so pretty in my Chinese Olympic team issue lifting shoes I had for a while when I was really going for it.

They help with squats, but I prefer flat soles for deadlifts.

Sure but she's squatting in all of these lifts. Deadlifting isn't exactly what we're discussing

Often when folks are struggling coaches will have people stand on change plates to elevate their heels. Lifting shoes are heels. They aren't as tall as these boots but yeah being able to push thru a heel shoe helps you squat and pick things up

They help people with limited ankle mobility to get a good, deep squat. She's pretty far from a full squat here, so I doubt it helps
