High Heel-a-Thon: Some close-ups
Posted on July 10th, 2008 by shoesense under Celebrity Shoe StyleOn the…um…high heels of Shomore’s post (sorry, couldn’t resist), here’s a shot of what the contestants looked like in yesterday’s High Heel-a-thon, led by Kelly Ripa (who, despite bragging about her high-heel prowess, did NOT win the race):
In her defense, it looks like her heels were at least twice as high as everybody else’s:
No matter! This is still an event that should be featured on the Fear Factor, as far as I’m concerned. Shouldn’t there be less painful ways to donate to charities? Like, say…um…donating money from the comfort of your own home and out of the goodness of your heart? Just saying. (By all means, do donate to March of Dimes, which this event benefited. You can do so in your slippers–try it, it feels SO good!)

We were there! Morgan Williams of the RunningWithHeels.com team was the only one of us doing the actual running in heels, but Angie and myself were there to support her and all the ladies participating in this event!
What a day!

I love the women who sensibly wore athletic socks with their heels! Good thinking, ladies.

Where can I buy the shoes Kelly is wearing??!!

Kelly’s shoes look so good! I saw some similar at Celine which when I tried them on were wonderfully light. I felt I could ran a marathon in them, believe it or not!

I also am curious to see what shoes Kelly is wearing. Love them!

This has got to be some kind of a nightmare, some of those heels are so tall that being a woman one can understand that it must be a job to simply walk gracefully in them much less running! I wonder what kind of repurcussion will this exercise bring.

Please please please can someone tell me where she got those shoes?? I am in LOVE with them!

I’d walk in them and everyday after. LOL Where can I get them?

[…] already blogged about the Regis and Kelly High Heel-a-thon (here and here), but this last video was almost too painful to watch. For this man who partook in the […]
