    That is very cool!

    Heel-toe walking just like a man.

    Be interesting to see what they could do with toe-heel walking in a pair
    of 3" heels...be very funny to see it run in heels! tippy-toe all the way smile.gif
    (gaybot)(not that there is anything wrong with that) smile.gif

    Interestingly, if you watch the slow motion carefully, heel-toe walking is just a matter of·rolling forward from heel to toe, tiping and falling·forward, then then catching yourself by putting your foot out in front of you, then doing it all again with the other foot.

    I once saw walking described as "controlled falling".
