"Stiletto Run": the annual fashionistas workout

Some of us run in stilettos every morning, so there is nothing really unusual in this fact, but Amsterdam fashionistas once a year get a chance to run in their stilettos for cash! About $15,000 are on the line for the fastest woman who can make the 380 yard Glamour sponsored race in minimum 3 1/2 inch heels.

This year, Tamara Ruben, 25, from the town of Veenendaal, claimed first prize running so smoothly you might think she was wearing sneakers.

The race is only 3-years old and already has made popular in few European countries - Germany, Sweden, Poland and Russia.

New York City sounds so perfect for the race, it must be the next one on the map!

Less amazing than is seems. All sprinters run on the ball of the foot. The heels do not hit the ground. Therefore the position of the foot is natural to a sprint! Take a look at the shoes that are used for sprinters. Only spiked on the ball of the foot!
