Mechanically? Cheaper in terms of humanity loss and money, and if you’re going to be installing talon feet anyway, might as well keep more slots open.

I would’ve said at least no weirdo posts pictures of your feet on the net, and yet…
here we are.

I most often see them on borged out assailants with sandy and melee weapons. I think ninjas think they make them faster. Idk if that’s true because I can’t install them myself.

Funny enough, the first time I saw those on someone, it was a Mox doing the slav squat pose, so I was even more confused as to why someone would willingly do that.
Clearly, she had some damn good balance though.

Less friction while running maybe?

Ballet?

Pros: stab with feet, may be hot to some, probably costs less than having ankles
Cons: cannot move on non solid ground like dirt, sand, mud etc

You won’t dull your mantis blades shaving your legs.

You’d save a lot of money on shoes.

It looks like there’s a piston in the heel area, so it might be for more sudden jumps or as a weapon similar to mantis blades but that’s speculation on my end. I have no idea for certain

it could either help in combat or traversal

Fashion would be my guess.
They remind me of Fedorova’s legs from ~~Mankind Divided~~ human revolution. But those are very clearly made for sprinting and jumping
Seriously, though. Balancing on fine points isn’t bad at all once your proprioception adjusts to the new balance dynamic. It’s why people can walk so naturally on stilts with enough practice.
But, in this case, probably add some internal gyroscopes to lock the balance in. Easier to make springy the way current runner’s prosthetics are, times two (or ten, if you’ve got charge jump). Sheds a fair bit of the excess weight someone very chromed out already has a problem with. Kicks become *extremely* lethal. Possibly easier to apply an EM field to spherical tips, for variable grip, in high end models. All sorts of reasons.
But, really, more than anything, it’s just about the Cool. Someone comes sprinting at you on these, you’re aware you are *even more fucked* than normal, because they are good enough to confidently move at speed on them.

Beautiful penmanship.

Blades make people run faster in real life too, probably just going for something like that.

Aren’t people equipped with these moving really fast? Like sideway and such?

The ones in cyberpunk don’t look early as strong flexible or articulated.
You ever see the first Kingsman movie? One of the baddies had these.
Able to pick food or garbage off the ground easier xD
You won’t stub your toe cause you got none.
Cool lookin’.

You can write with your feet using ink.
Not having feet guys around?
They can tip toe around better
You ruin the day of feet fetish folks
You could run straight up walls using those.
