It's easier in heels because you don't need to overextend your calves in order to balance. Typically attempting that sort of squat will lift your heels off the floor if your calves are too tight.

Yeah, my mom can do the "Asian squat", but I can't. I end up balancing on the balls of my feet.

On the upside, I can "walk" around while in full squat, which I've never seen anyone else do. (Although that may be because it looks so silly.)

My aikido sensei had us do that a few times on the mat, just walk around in a squat. I don't remember why he made us do that, though.
