The Stiletto Walk in Escondido, CA - Walk a Few Blocks in Her Shoes

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

Get out your Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo stilettos and head for Escondido, CA on April 3 for the first Stiletto Walk as part of the Escondido Fashion Week Downtown 2009, presented by Mercedes Benz of Escondido

StilettosThe purpose of the Stiletto Walk is to raise awareness about ovarian cancer, and to benefit the Clearity Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to the improvement of treatment options for ovarian cancer (remember Gilda Radner??). There are 15,000 deaths per year from this particular cancer and new treatment options are needed.  [photo courtesy of kiirndy on Flickr

And it's NOT just for the women. Any daring man who wants to take a several block stroll in some stilettos is welcome too - 2 blocks actually. Some shoes are being donated so if you don't have your own you will likely find some to fit. You, too, guys. 

BTW I heard a rumor that Joan Van Arc may be participating, too. 

The walk is at 6 PM. You can register on-line.  

There's even a video on YouTube to show you how to walk in stilettos in case you can't. And this site will help you glide in stilettos

Connie - agreed.

KK - hmmm, well for someone who prefers to not wear shoes at all, that could be quite the adventure. But, yes, I promise. IF I decide to be adventurous it will definitely be camera worthy.

Jeff - I'm really unclear on this concept.  Do I stilettos? Yes.  Do I walk in them?  No.  I can only participate if I can carry my stilettos.  Please advise.

Ha Ha, Melina. I guess it WOULD be video worthy. We'll see. I am at least thinking about it. Would it be tacky to wear my RE/MAX t-shirt?

Barb - Ha ha. Actually having gone to Provincetown in MA many times I have seen lots of guys in stilletos. Some looked pretty good, and they could walk in them There are several drag clubs there). LOL

Marlene - sorry but I think you have to strut in them. I will if you will.

Zilkia - Thanks you. It is a wonderful cause and I hope the turnout if good.

Notice that it is only the women commenting on this post!!

Hi Jeff, I had read this morning and then my wireless went down and I forgot to leave you a comment. I think you should participate though, just think of all the great comments would get , especially with the pictures. Who knows, you might start a new trend but I seriously doubt it. Guys just have the legs for them,lol.  Actually the whole idea of bringing awareness to ovarian cancer is a wonderful thing and you are to be applauded. Well done. Now it is not just not the women that have commented here, :-)

Jeff just make sure that you coordinate your stilettos to your shirt.  Red or blue would look fetching with your shirt. 

You know you could ask people to donate $5 to watch the video and then donate it to the cause.  I think you'd have plenty of people on AR pay good money to see you walk in heels...
