Nope … we aren’t talking about a competition amongst shoe designers to create high heels hotter than Atlanta in July. Instead, we are talking competitive high heel running races, which are taking Eastern Europe by storm. If you’re like us, this is probably completely foreign to you, but lucky for us Manolo is a Euro-sports enthusiast and savvy to high heel racing.

From Russia to Germany, and who knows where else, women of all shapes and sizes are taking their high heels to the extreme. Most races only last a few hundreds meters, but, as you might imagine, usually end in disaster. In our opinion, high heel running races are a great way to show-off your high heel skills, and an even better way to sprain an ankle. We’re just saying … enjoy!
