Smart. Sexy. Fun.
One woman set the record for the fastest 100-meter dash in stilettos while raising money for breast cancer in Sydney today. The race, sponsored by Venus, required women to run in at least three-inch heels. At the finish line, they shaved their legs before training for their next big race to raise money for their inevitable shin splints. View 5 Photos ›Photo 1Photo 2Photo 3Photo 4Photo 5 Read more
Stage performance is a tough gig, so this old stripper stiletto decided to leave the biz for greener pastures. Upcycled from a shiny size eight gold heel, the Glam Gold Stiletto Heel ($70) was sanded, drilled for drainage, and then planted with natural, organic fertilizer and a "blue chalksticks" succulent. Would you let this clever planter shine in your home? Love It or Hate It? Read more
On your mark. Get set. Ouch! I can't even walk in stilettos, much less run in a competition with stilettos on. These gluttons for punishment (all 265 of them in Australia) took part in an 80-meter dash in Sydney wearing three-inch heels. The winner, a professional hurdler, took the $5,000 (Australian dollars) prize and a gold pair of stilettos. (She's just going to have to put all that cash Read more
You're asking and I'm answering... Dear Fit, I am interested in possibly getting an iPod or something similar to use when I work out. I never jumped on the whole iPod train in the first place because the idea of having to pick out songs doesn't appeal to me, since I don't really know what to pick. That's why I like Sirius satellite radio. It exposes me to new music and I don't have to do anything Read more
This past Saturday, women from all over Germany participated in a 100 meter race that required endurance, balance and insanity. That's because the athletes were running in spiked heel shoes at least 2.7 inches high with heels no more than .6 inches in diameter. I guess if a pair of new Choos needed any breaking in, this was the quickest way to do it. But ladies, it's one thing to put your Read more

High heels. You either love them or hate them, but you can't deny they are chic. We love the height boost and illusion of longer legs they offer, but we do realize they're not the best things for our feet. Unfortunately, recent research shows that these lovely shoes may be worse than previously thought. In a study of longtime high heel wearers, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, Read more
Cracked heels can be a problem, especially in the colder months when the air lends itself to dry skin. On top of that, these fissures can worsen as a result of the pressure put on your heels throughout the day — especially if you're a fan of foot-imbalancing stilettos. Along with being less-than-aethestically-pleasing, untreated cracked heels can split even further, causing pain (and in some Read more

If you're looking to cut loose on New Year's Eve, it might just be best to ditch the stilettos. Sure, party shoes have their place in our wardrobes, and we'll gladly smile through a little pain for a killer pair of heels; but, on NYE we won't let anything threaten a good time. If you're prone to achy heels and swollen toes, forgo the six-inch heels in favor of a pair that pull double duty. Read more
