Celebrities in high heels doing crazy things

 

High heels never fail to test our pain threshold, which is why we'll never understand how stars can wear three-inch (or higher!) stilettos day in, day out - no matter what the circumstances. Still, no pain, no gain, and sometimes the pain is worth it for that perfect outfit. In honour of their dedication, we're looking back at every time a celeb has done something wondrous in heels.

While Walking Her Dog on a Subway Grate...

Priyanka Chopra is doing double duty here. Not only is she walking her dog in heeled mules, she is also standing on a subway grate to give her dog some space.

While Playing Some Volleyball...

Here's Kate Middleton in the air with a killer serve while playing volleyball... in wedges.

While Sprinting...

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) is the queen of heels, so it makes sense that she could run a marathon in a pair of peep-toe pumps.

While Throwing the First Pitch...

Mariah Carey opted for a sporty look for her ceremonial first pitch. She kept things casual on the top, but decided not to leave the heels at home.

While Shopping at Michael's....

Paris Hilton needed some craft supplies, so she went to Michael's wearing a pair of pumps. As one does.

While Defying the Laws of Gravity...

What goes up must come down... unless, of course, you're Beyoncé and you've got the perfect mid-jump in a pair of crazy high heels.

While Going to the Bodega to Pick Up a Coke...

Fun fact: this bodega is just around the corner from my house, and I can guarantee I won't look like Kendall when I go there.

While Pumping Gas...

Celebs, they're just like us! In high heels, Reese Witherspoon pumps gas.

While Beaching...

As a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, it's no surprise that Kylie had the sheer gumption to show up on a Malibu beach wearing four-inch gladiator sandals. Luckily for her, she had a friend to carry her before her heels sank like quick sand.

While Beyoncé-ing...

By some miracle, Bey is able to move, shake, saunter and 'Single Lady' across the stage while wearing glittering pumps. Don't try this at home or anywhere else, unless you're actually Queen Bey.

While Riding a Bike...

She may have been filming a fake bike ride of shame, but the fact that Elizabeth Banks managed to pull it off in T-strap heels is pretty impressive.
