High Heels of Fire
One hundred German women braved broken heels and sprained ankles in Saturday’s second annual “Stiletto Run” 100-meter race in Berlin.

The distance was 100 meters. The field was 100 women. The prize was €10,000. The setting was Berlin. And the shoes were stilettos. With a time of 14.7 seconds, Berliner Denise Hanitzsch beat out 99 fellow heel-wearers Saturday to take the prize in the second annual “Stiletto Run,” held in West Berlin near the upscale Kurfürstendamm shopping district.
