These shoes were made for running


Check this out:
(can't get it to embed, grr).

Tens of women in impossibly high heels took to the PC Hooftstraat here yesterday in Dutch Glamour's Stiletto Run. I had seen an ad for this a couple of weeks ago and was full sure it was a joke, but no, they pegged it the length of the street in their Jimmy Choos etc. for the chance to win €10,000. A 20-year-old athlete from Egmond won - I bet the money just about covers the medical expenses from the damage she's done to her ankles. Most of the time I can barely walk in heels, let alone run in them!
