No they wouldn't. The heels are too high and too thin and wouldn't help hold weight.

When walking in high heel shoes, whether they're a pump style (spikey heels) or platformed (solid) most women balance their weight with the ball of the foot. Very little weight or balance actually goes towards the heel. The taller the heel, the more balance we place on the ball of our feet.

For example: when a woman walks in grass or dirt in high heels, the heel just leaves a small indention where it was. If our weight was actually distributed evenly, the spikey heel would sink. We're basically walking on the ball of our feet.

Why do you think women are more suspectible of twisting their ankles in high heels?

The heels on the back of the Icon boots would be more of a hindrince than a actual help. I'm already on my tip toes on my bike. Those boots would do nothing for me, except make my precarious balance even worse.

What would be a better, more possible help is having a thicker sole or a boot that's platformed with a solid bottom. However, a much thicker sole would make shifting very difficult or virtually impossible. I'd need a shifter I could adjust accordingly.
