The winner is awarded shopping vouchers worth 100,000 roubles (£1,964) by the Russian edition of Glamour magazine, which hosts the contest.

That's a good question, Lanelle! LOL! They're so many colors to choose from, surely I can come up with something. ;)
I would barely be able to stand in these without immediately falling over, let alone run, but it's the internet so I'm allowed to pretend. (and at least they're not ballet heels, those things are painful to just look at)

And ETA: would these shoes be prominent enough?
"Dang it! That's the second month in a row that I've forgotten to post how many pages your book needs to be. Thanks for catching that, LaurLa.
And yes, I think since the shoes are in the center of the cover, they are prominent enough.
