When shopping is a sport: Sprinting in stilettos

I wish I had been there, if not to actually race and possibly win a cash prize, then just to watch the spectacle.
In Amsterdam last week, 150 young women raced down the city's most famed fashion street, PC Hooft, in order to win a $15,000 prize. A race with a fairly decent-sized cash prize...so what? They were wearing stiletto heels in a competition that has the motto of "Shopping is a sport." The minimum height requirement on heels is 3½ inches.
I'd actually just like to know which shoes had heels that were strong enough to withstand the pounding on the pavement. I want them.
