If you stay focused, you will still be able think about the every step that you are going to take with those deadly high heels.

If you can take a look at the runway before the fashion show begins, then by all means you should. This allows you to take note of anything that may cause you to trip. Although high end fashion shows are well funded, there are certain circumstances where in the runway is not really that smooth. Either which way, you should always do your best to make sure that you are well prepared for anything that may cause you to fall down.
