MODEL athletes took to the starting blocks in killer heels at a Lewisham stadium yesterday.

Pulses were raised as models took to the athletic track at Ladywell Arena in Union Jack-etched heels and wedges emblazoned with the Jamaican flag.

The glamorous runners did warm-up exercises before hitting the track in the England 12 Shoes and Jamaica 50 shoes designed by Dionne Gooding.

Brockley-based Ms Gooding said: "It went really well and we were lucky to have great weather!


"The England 12 shoes have taken over six months of planning including prototypes but I’m happy with the final result.”
