I happen to have long hair of a
straight slinky variety, similar to the new texture of Ashleys hair. I know exactly how long it takes to pull it into a ponytail, or god forbidpin back with a bobbypin (or did they for some strange reason get rid of bobby pins in a future?) and the longer the hair is, the better it stays tucked in behind the ear. I also have shot weapons at a range so I know that having hair in your eyes is NOT conductive to good aim.
having hair in your eyes in combat is NOT practical. its just an excuse to show off a new imrpoved graphic engine... if we're lucky.
As former soldier I had few thoughts about Ashleys new look.
Situations on battlefield are very different compared to shooting range. You propably don't want anything, even a single hair in your field of vision when you are aiming, especially when using a weapon that uses diopter like sights. You are most likely moving. Moving can be walking, jogging, running, jumping, diving, getting up, leaning... your head moves as well. 0.3 seconds spent to move hair from your face may cost not only your own life but also life of your squadmate(s). Then there is sweat that glues things like hair on your face.

Try aiming a gun without closing your weaker eye. Ashley's hair is only swept in front of one. [smilie]../../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]
Then again, I'm basing this off a few archery classes.
Try hitting a target that is moving towards or away from you like that.

Now I've seen runners and they always land on their heels. When you run, you run from heel to toe. Usually I hear
it as heel-toe or something like that. That says to me that you take your entire foot into account when you run. I can't see someone pulling something like that off on wedges with the same accuracy and precision you can with sneakers. The image posted by Nohvarr show the heel of the sneaker being no more than an inch off the ground. Even then, the whole shoe is in the same line. There isn't a mid or high angle of the foot like depicted on Ashely. And still there's the shock-like pieces that add support and make the sneaker more in line with itself.
I've asked if you or any woman would do the same things in wedges (as depicted on Ashely) as you would in sneakers. Can you do that? Comfortably as you would with sneakers? Would you get the same stability?
Spot on and soldiers do helluva lot of more than just run.
You want shoes that give you maximum stability and work in many kind of environments and you aren't the one who can always decide where the battle is going to happen. Even in a city, fallen bricks, shattered glass on pavements, all kind of rubble and depbris can be under your feets. You don't want shoes with heels, or wegdes or whatever they are called. You want something that protects your feet and ankles.
And those been few pics how Ashleys shoes looks like runnings shoes. To be honest, I don't see that either.
What comes to Ashley as character and her new "sexier" outlook there are things I can buy and things I can't. Hair and shoes are things I can't buy and overall, compromise between femine and practical seems to be bit too much on feminine side.
It's been said by many, that because she is now a specte she may now choose to wear something else because of that, but I can't buy it because for very reason that as a spectre she can choose what she wears, how ske keeps her hair etc. and Ashley wouldn't choose feminine over practical if it's up to her ever.
If she were Alliance soldier I can totally imagine her reading a brief and face palming while reading something like: "Because this mission A requires someone to scout location B before troops can move in scout should dress in miniskirts and bla bla bla... "
I can imagine that after all that face palming she would do something she wouldn't do in normal circumstances, going to ask from her superior officer if this crap is really necessary? She is a marine, aren't there really anybody else to sent?
But she would do it. She would hate it, she might swear when getting stockings in her feet, for a spiritual person swear even more when getting into miniskirt and high heels or whatever and looking herself from the mirror, but she would do it to ensure troops safety, because her sense of duty.
As a spectre that are allowed lot of freedom in a way how they perform their missions, no. She could wear something that is appropiate of occasion, but never anything that is so inpractical that it might endanger her mission, her own safety or even public safety.
Doesn't ruin ME3 for me, but when I look those pictures, I just wonder, if this was really necessary. Customising options for squadmate outfits sound good for me though.
