"Pole" footwear? As in infamous light-up heels?

[teigyr]

Ah. Yes. Well being that I have over 100 pairs of shoes (perhaps 150 counting cycling shoes and running/hiking shoes, etc) some are stilettos. And yes, I have the infamous 6" heels! I don't have the light-up kind, alas, but my instructor does.

Here's what I've learned. It is FAR easier to go quickly in heels than not. I can run in 'em 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 . 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!

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.
