Why Isn't This in the U.S.?
Glamour's Stiletto Run - in Germany
Seems its been done in Holland also. Why not here? I think this ROCKS!
And not just ANY heels, there are rules.
BUT, seems some crochety old feminists think the race
promotes stereotypes of women "shackled" to awkward footwear that prohibits them from being on an equal footing with men - literally.
Pffffffttt. Oh GEEZ already. Lighten up Lucifer. It's for FUN. A joke. A good time. We're all gonna die someday. And some of us sooner than we'd like. Will you put it on your gravestone that you were too crotchety to enjoy an event that pretty much pokes fun at ourselves???
Hmm. Well, I have an opinion too girlfriends. I think its MEN who are SHACKLED to UGLY flat footwear that has no style. Don't you?????????????????
Cheers! Heidi

I can't even look at that picture without my back aching! I miss wearing heels but I feel better in the back wearing flats.
This looks incredible -- though painful. My concern is for the ankles of these women, not the backs. But I think I could do it... probably not take home a medal, but I bet I could finish all the same.
Wouldn't running a race in stilettos be extremely dangerous for your feet, ankles, knees, back?
Come on girls this looks like a great laugh - can we have one in Scotland so I can wear these fab little Tartan Strappy Sandals I have treated myself to??
I think it would be a blast. Who says you have to finish? Who says you can't walk instead of run? I'd do it just for the sake of being there with all those other gutsy women!
I think its because here in the USA there are a bunch of prudes!
Anyway it looks like a lot of fun, and I don't know if there are any rules keeping men from racing, but I would be willing to give it a try. As I said, it looks like FUN! :)
Do you by any chance know what the rules are? Heel heights etc...
Or if there are any organized stiletto runs in the USA?
If you do, please drop me a message rndyotis93@hotmail.com
