What to Wear Where: Stiletto Stampede for the Cure

The Stiletto Stampede for the Cure is a 100-yard high heel dash that encourages women and men to make healthy lifestyle choices, get screened on a regular basis and mitigate breast cancer fears through personal knowledge and education.

Did we mention that you get to wear stilettos? Ok, we thought so!

Here are some of our picks:

If you want to save your favorite stilettos for, let's say, more of a "red carpet" stampede, try these below They are so fun for "Going Pink" and would be perfect for a little stampeding!

We decided to compromise and picked this cute pair of Kate Spades!

While the high heels are hard to beat, the best part of this event is that proceeds from the Stiletto Stampede for the Cure will benefit the local Susan G. Komen foundation as well as outreach education and rehab programs developed by the Stiletto Stampede Organization. This is such a great {and fashionable} way to show your support and raise awareness. Click here for more information on how to register.
