To me I don't get it, the invisprims look so ugly that it doesn't make the shoe worth it to me. But like I said everyone's in them, I don't really get why.
Sex sells, and heels are sexy. Honestly, if you're not against an alpha texture or the linden sea or sky, you never see them. I like to wear my satyr legs, which are pretty much ALL invisiprim, and even though my build spot is right against the ocean I end up rarely seeing it. I imagine if my build spot was in the sky, it would bother me more. But most of the time if I'm taking pictures, all I need to do is make sure the ground or a solid prim is behind me, and you can't see a thing.

And yes, invisiprims are clunky, distracting, and horrible. But we work with what we have to the best of our abilities.
