Men put on high heels

Can a man really experience what it's like to be a woman? Can he really put himself in her shoes? It's not as difficult as men think. Just put on high heels!

A high heel race was staged across China on March 8, International Women's Day, but with unusual competitors—some brave gentlemen.

A male runner, surnamed Huang, ran desperately to the finishing line even when one of his heels flew off half way in a race in Kunming, Southwest China's Yunnan province. He eventually reached the finish line with bare feet and won the game.

In another competition, the organizer increased the difficulty of the race by putting some hurdles along the runway, which required men to skillfully navigate in their heels at great speed.
