“ This is kind of a stretch, but could she be referring to the famous "click your heels together three times" in the Wizard of Oz?

Given the context Madhulk quoted I very much doubt that this is a reference to The Wizard of Oz.

Chloe: I'll save you the heel blisters. So does she mean she'll save him the trouble of finding out the hard way?

This strikes me as a reasonable understanding. Don't forget that the writers of Smallville love to play with the language and use oddball phrasing and unusual formulations. This looks like a perfect example.
