Pinoy men race in stiletto shoes

Who said Pinoy men can't walk while wearing high-heeled shoes? They can even run on it.

Originally a race for women, Marikina's 500-meter stiletto shoe race dubbed "Tour de Takong" allowed male participants this year.

And join the race men did, with some participants arriving for the Nov. 16 event wearing fancy dresses and makeup.

The race is part of the week-long Marikina Sapatos (Shoe) Festival, aimed at promoting the city's shoe industry.
