To name and shame a shop.....

[KnittedBreast]

I was in town yesterday and wondering into a certain shop.

They were selling red shiney sequined high heels in a baby size 7- thats aged 2-3year.
the shoes had high heels and very adult looking, also really cheaply made crap quality, not substantial at all or supportive in the way an adult womans high heels might be.

I had a word with the sales manager and explained it was disgusting, sexualisation of babyhood, the harm it could do to developing feet etc... she said she agreed but if people buy it they will continue to sell it. her next defence was "at least we dont sell thongs for the under 5s like some shops"-what kind of justification is that??

Thabks for highlighting these shoes to me OP!Now I know what to get my friends DD for her birthday
The ruby slippers are just divine!Like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz

My 2 and half year old would love them.She already loves heels.She has those disney plastics heels at the moment.I don't think there that bad tbh would'nt let my dd wear them out though

op it says Warning - Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts - Choking Hazard.

They are not for children under the age of 3

There is nothing wrong with them if they are for a party or dressing up.

You have to have a heel to dance, no matter what age you are.

As for growing feet, as they are not everyday shoes, and you wouldnt let your child wear them all day, then they are not going to deform the feet or make her toes drop off.
