Anyone post this yet? I could not find the search function in the forum.

They require a minimum 3 inch heel to enter

I seen that on Regis and Kelly last week. Don't know the details but you can go to fox web site and get the information you need.

The official competition, for which participants will be sprinting for more than $30,000 in prize money and a variety of fun prizes, is open to women only, though men can enter a special honorary race category.

I would call this your typical sex discrimination!

There should be a race for women and a race for men. Especially with all of the publicity the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" events have gotten. The March of Dimes could use this for positive publicity if they did this.

I posted just awhile ago about some particular wedges. Gah! I would buy them just to enter this! I'll practice full-time in them to enter :D

Looking at my subscriptions, just happen to come across this topic. Speaking of, has anyone watched it that day or was anyone in it? It WAS New York, right?

Shall we sue for equal rights here? What an opportunity to fight the good fight AND raise some charity money.

Any event that will 'legitimize' men in heels is excellent. With enough exposure (love those peep toes...., sorry I digress) we will dampen societies disdain for our footwear choices and will most likely attract some closet converts.

I witnessed a male high heel race on a cobblestone street. A very interesting experience. Unfortunately, it was only open to employees.

As highestheels stated, any twisted ankles at all??? No hoping for any, but just saying.
