# Running Heels B by Aperire Releases Sporty Shoe Line By Rachel | Published 2009-06-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/running-heels-b-by-aperire References: [la.racked](http://la.racked.com/archives/2009/06/02/b_by_aperire_wants_you_to_run_in_their_heels.php) & [bbyaperire-en](http://www.bbyaperire-en.com/) High heels aren’t made for comfort, but women suffer through for the look. B by Aperire is hoping to change that. B by Aperire is releasing a line of high-heeled running shoes in LA. The designs are wedged heels with [running shoe soles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rb-nitrotm-elite). I know there is a show called “Running in Heels” but I think we may be taking the idea too literally. This just sounds unsafe. Check out the high-heeled running shoes and give them a try if you’re brave enough. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Athletic Fashion:** Opportunity for innovation in creating fashionable athletic wear that is both comfortable and functional. - **Hybrid Footwear:** Opportunity for innovation in designing shoes that combine functionality of different shoe types. - **Comfortable High Heels:** Opportunity for innovation in creating high heels that are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Innovation in creating comfortable and functional high heels can disrupt the fashion industry. - **Footwear:** The launch of high-heeled running shoes presents an opportunity for innovation in the footwear industry, especially in designing hybrid shoes. - **Athletic Wear:** The sporty design of B by Aperire's high-heeled running shoes should inspire innovation in the athletic wear industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfortable High-Heeled Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highheeled-sneaker.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Dynamic Thigh-High Tech Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voo-store-1.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Movement-Focused Womens Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitflop.md) - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Comfortable Stylish Heel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inez.md) - [Superior Ultramarathon Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-adizero-prime-x-evo.md) - [Sport-Infused Shoe Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/june-ambrose-x-naturalizer.md)
