So, I was trying on stilettos last night with a friend, running around in a Benny Hill fashion through the back of the store, when it hit me: I can sprint in stilettos.
I've done it several times downtown (drunk, no less). I am considering entering the Jimmy Choo sprint/dash, if there is one, next year. It happens in Germany. They offer mucho amounts of Jimmy Choo shoes to the winner.
Discuss.
I can barely walk in sneakers:o . The shoes are all yours, have at it.
I had cycling camp and only took my cycling shoes. So the only non-cycling shoes I had were the ones I had worn to work. I got a few comments ...:eek:
Woowoo! That's a hawt look! :D :p
Sign me up! I, too, can run in heels (and I enjoy showing off this skill!). In fact, yesterday a co-worker mentioned that I looked like someone in an action movie as I ran across the street, dodging traffic in my heels. :cool:
very trendy look!
Hey SGTiger - doncha think that Teigyr outta check this out? Methinks, she could share her "pole" footwear and win this category outright! :DQuote:

Here's what I've learned. It is FAR easier to go quickly in heels than not. I can run in 'em :D When I fall over is when I try to walk very slowly.
Did not know of such a race. Might be worth finding videos of!
Man, i normally can't walk in heels :o . My friend tried so hard to shoe shop with me for a heeled shoe that wasn't high! We eventually found a pair.
I'll leave stiletto racing to you ladies!

There may be vids on Youtube. Watched it not so long ago and was seriously impressed by the winner. I don't know time, but she was cooking. I'd imagine she ran the distance in stilletos faster than I could in sneaks!
K.
there is an annual 'high heel race' in DC around halloween. of course it is men doing the running, but some are better in high heels than i ever could be.
here is a youtube video from last year, view at your own risk as there is off-color language and more than a little irreverant poking fun at people. just warning ahead of time.

wonder if they would consider adding a biking component to the evening?
on a side note, my brother in law rode in the MS ride from the jersey shore to philly and he said that every year there is a woman who rides it in high heels and a tutu? i think that's what he said. :)
What are you doing in my socks?!?:eek: ;)Quote:

Hot dog! I call a PNW TE party at Teigyr's house, 'cause ya know, that's where the pole is at! :rolleyes: :D ;)
How's 'bout it Teigyr? :D :p
