Weiss might have to do with the Schnees being Schnees. They have an obsesion with simetry, they might also have an obsesion with their heiress looking flawless at all times. So she must look like she going to a party 24/7.
 * Since Ruby specifically mentioned it: what's up with the girls and impractical footwear?  Weiss isn't even the worst offender.  Both the former stealth terrorist and the champion fighter wear heels into combat.  Even Nora's boots have a bit of a heel to them.  Glynda, Cinder, Emerald, the Twins - they all wear heels when fighting.  The only sensible ones seem to be Ruby and Yang, both of whom wear tough heavy boots.

Blake was already wearing heels during the Black Trailer, but she  was also wearing her bow. It might have to be with possing as a human. She is also feline and felines, technically, walk on the tips of their toes, so heels might the most comfortable to her.

Pyrrha is a star. Odds are sponsors are hard on her about image.

I wouldn't say Nora's boots have more heel that Yang's or Ruby's. Nora's outfit is actually quite sporty.

Glynda is a mage, the only fight we saw with her was against Cinder in V1E1 but it seems her style is more of taking a position and standing there while throwing her attacks to the enemy. She is also a teacher so it is possible she doesn't go hunting as often so she can afford to be fancy.

Cinder, we haven't seen much of her style. But considering she can make the ground explode under her enemies and seems to have dust inside her very body, mobility in combat might not be a problem for her.

I don't know about Emnerald. The sexy factor might held her pickpocket people.

Melanie and Militia work at a night Club. They are probably there to be eye candy for the guest and kick ass if someone steps out of line, so like Pyrrha, image demands. With Melanie her heels are also her weapons.
