Are Bootie Heels Just As Dangerous as Boots to Sink In?

[kelskelsCD9432]

As some of you may know, I enjoy looking as feminine as I can when I sink to feel like a Damsel in Distress.

I just purchased my first pair of heeled booties to wear on my next sink, and I was wondering if they could be just as dangerous as boots when it comes to their suction potential? Would the fact that they are booties (and not tall) make it easier or harder to extract myself? The type of mud will be red clay in Oklahoma. Attached is a picture of me in them for reference! Also, once zipped up, they are tight enough to where I will not be able to slip my feet out in an emergency.

Thank you for your help! I’m trying to gauge what level of backup/help I should have on standby…

I'm wondering if the mud were to be sandy whether sand might get in the zipper and make it impossible to unzip. On the other hand, a long time ago, I always wore zipped dive booties into the mud and never had a problem with the zipper, however those are massively large zippers made for use in sandy conditions! You might want to carry a dive knife with you in case you have to cut them off.
