Since being shared, the clip has gathered over 50,000 likes and tons of comments. Several people came up with different questions about the record. There were some who wrote how it seems like an impossible feat to them.
“How high constitutes being a ‘high heel’?” asked an Instagram user. To which, GWR replied, “Good question. The heels must be at least 7cm (2.75 in) high. There’s also stipulations about the width at the tip of the shoe in our guidelines.”
“Still faster than me doing a normal 100m,” confessed another. “That is actually amazingly impressive,” said a third.
As for this individual, they wrote, “My feet hurt watching this.” This sentiment was expressed by many.
