    Default High Heel Marathon (26 Miles)

    i have been doing a bit of thinking over the last couple of days wondering if anyone has ever walked a full marathon in heels.
    it has dawned on me that if i complete my 10 mile walk with reletive ease then a marathon is a possibility.
    the problem is what heels to chose. i have set up a poll of 10 styles that should be fairly comfortable over such a distance but suggestions are welcome. my choice of heel would be 3'' with a single sole or 5'' with a 1.5'' platform and chunky heel. does anyone know of anybody who has done a similar distance? this would be endurance walking in the big league. not quite up with hiking over a mountain in heels but not too far behind and also a lot safer.
    i think the platforms would be the best bet as the heels would last a lot longer. the picture just shows examples and colour is irrelevant. the idea is what shoe is most suitable or put another way. least likely to give blisters or sore feet.

    I think the Dolly 27 would be the shoe for me. I like the style .

    the poll is not about picking what style you like best. its about what style you think would be best to walk 26 miles in. fashion and looks are irrelivent

    could anyone guide me to where i am likely to suffer blisters? when i completed a 5 mile walk the only blisters i had was on my little toes. i was wearing the same sandals as in my avatar. i also had a blister on the ball of 1 foot. i have uploaded a picture showing some shoes. there is a pink pair of sandals that i will be wearing this coming august to do a 10 mile walk but the other ones are what i consider would be most suitable. you will see that i have marked all of them with coloured spots. this is where i think that blisters are most likely to develop. does anyone agree with my opinions. what style would you think would be best? colour and looks are unimportant
