Question to the ladies

150 yard dash in stilleto heels? how hard would that be?

Stilleto Dash

At first I thought it must be tough, I mean I have never worn heels of course, but I cannot imagine sprinting 150 yards If I was wearing a pair. But then I thought, well isnt a true sprint only on the front of your foot? In a real sprint, the heel never makes contact with the ground, am I correct? So would this mean a 150 yard dash in heels is not as tough as it sounds?

Idk ladies, you tell me what you think.

Also, amy palmiero is in the race. Now we have been over the whole debate about whether leg amputee's have an advantage with there blades, but in this case it HAS to be true! Amy only has to wear one stilleto, so does that not leave her blade leg free to power down the straightaway?

And the reason I care is cause there a 25 grand prize to whoever wins, just FYI.

that would be ridicously hard

yeahh that would be like impossible lol. it would hurt so bad.

yeah, your ankles would killlllllll.

So kill your ankles before hand, get artificial ones, and then say you have a right to compete when they tell you they are an unfair advantage.

i would do it for fun and it says only about 10 men are signed up. thats easy money up for grabs

hahhah that would be awesome. If I got to wear a nice pair of Marc Jacobs heels and a shot at 25 grand, I'd go for it.

except you might break those nice marc jacob shoes and that would suck

I just realized that the guy who posted that on the RW site is Not Mark lol.

that would hurt. ^^^^^^^^^^lol and mark remy? thats him? lol

Mm...yeah that would be hard. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make it the whole way without falling over at least twice.

Eh, I had to wear 4 inch heels for a day on a dare once, it wasn't that hard.

that would suck. just cuz your heels wouldnt touch necesarily the front of your feet are still in pain cuz they are stuck in a tiny area.

Yeah, interesting point about only running on your toes in a spring anyway. But I think it would still be hard because if the heel is long enough then standing normally you are on your tip toes, so it would be hard to get more on your toes to sprint... the heel would get in the way. And if the sole of the shoe was too stiff, it would also be really hard. having your foot compacted into a small shoe and then trying to run with it would be soooo painful. ... this is what I was thinking about when I couldn't fall asleep last night!!

the lady that won though, she ran at penn state. it was fun to watch! i don't think i could do it. i can hardly walk in them. i'm more of a no shoes/flip flops kinda girl.

true, I hate wearing high heels >=/ and when the heel is high enough you are literally standing on your tippy toes already.

I was watching that on t.v though, and I really want to do it!

i like wearing heels cuz i like dressing up but yeahh they kill after a while...

Any online videos?
