Wonder how many sprained ankles there were?

"AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Like a herd of antelope, jockeying and shoving for position, 150 young women raced down Amsterdam's most famed fashion street in stiletto heels Thursday, racing for a $15,000 prize."

Just the photo makes my bad ankle throb! Do you think they let men run the race if they wear the 3.5" stilettos?

Paging Christian from Project Runway!

He probably would have been at the head of the pack.
When the model was whining about the shoes being uncomfortable and hard to walk in last night he gave no sympathy and said he'd been having no problem with them walking around his apartment for a week.

The only people I know that can walk in 3.5" heels ARE men!!

Forget running, I can't even walk in heels that high. I don't know how they do it!!

I am actually suprised there weren't men in the race, expecially as the race was in Amsterdam! HELL, for 10,000 Euros, I would give it a try!

Those are some brave women! I'm doomed if my heels are over 2".

That is a hoot.
I have lost the ability to walk in pretty much any kind of heels.
