Considering high heels have nothing to do with the urinary system, I don't see why not.
Unless you're wearing them wrong (hint - they go on the feet).
I'd imagine they would make your legs a bit "higher" when you're doing your business, but it shouldn't affect your ability to urinate (they may affect your "aim" if they are very, very high heels).
If your heels do, somehow, interfere with your ability to urinate, simply take them off until you are done.
However if you're asking about urinating into someone else's actual shoes, I'd advise against it. You could get in trouble with the law (there is DNA in urine).
If you're asking about urinating into your own actual shoes, well, a little (very) abnormal but, each to their own, I suppose.
Clinical significance of protein in urine?
If there is protein in urine, there is something wrong with the filtration process in the kidneys. Normally, proteins molecules that are too large to enter the filtrate in the nephron of the kidney. If protein were to make it into the filtrate, then the kidneys are taking too much out of the blood and that could be disasterous

Can girls urinate while standing?
I'm sure there are a few but it's rare. More comfortable and no "accidents" sitting down.
I have seen women in Africa wearing long skirts suddenly stop, stand for a while with their feet about two feet apart and carry on, leaving a puddle behind. No wet spot on the skirt either.
Yep, that's how you can do if you wear a skirt and no underwear. But over here most women do which is why we squat.
How do you urinate without a sound?
If you are male, aim for the inner walls of the urinal or toilet - urinating on the sides will decrease splashing and noise.
If you are female, you might try putting some toilet paper into the water before you sit down, so that you are not urinating directly into the middle of the water.
What is the best prevention against kidney stones?
A simple and most important lifestyle change to prevent stones is to drink more liquids-water is best. If you tend to form stones, you should try to drink enough liquids throughout the day to produce at least 2 quarts of urine in every 24-hour period.
People who form calcium stones used to be told to avoid dairy products and other foods with high calcium content. But recent studies have shown that foods high in calcium, including dairy products, may help prevent calcium stones. Taking calcium in pill form, however, may increase the risk of developing stones.
You may be told to avoid food with added vitamin D and certain types of antacids that have a calcium base. If you have very acidic urine, you may need to eat less meat, fish, and poultry. These foods increase the amount of acid in the urine.
To prevent cystine stones, you should drink enough water each day to dilute the concentration of cystine that escapes into the urine, which may be difficult. More than a gallon of water may be needed every 24 hours, and a third of that must be drunk during the night.

No, each kidney has its own ureter leading to the bladder so there are two ureters.

Yes. Urination while laughing is quite common and called "stress urinary incontinence". While laughing the stress placed on the muscles in the urethra are relaxed, leading to a small flow of urine after laughing.
