Looking for a pair of boots on ebay and found these 230200003063.

Am I the only one to think they are not suitable for an 8 yo

Can't really see what's wrong with them (but I don't have an 8 year old so may be missing something).

well they are pikey but you see lots of it about

I assume you mean these? very high heels for a child

Personally I think they are horrid, whatever age they are for.

Well at least there not stillettos!
For occasional wear I guess they'd be ok, but the heel does seem to be a bit high.

I did see this girl, I reckon she was about 9-10, I kid you not she was dressed like a mini hooker. SERIOUSLY, gold ruched, 4" stilletto heeled boots, painted on jeans, boob tube with "D&G" and this gold coloured furry gilet (sp), HUGE hoop earings and a load of over the top chains with D&G pendants.
Had to look twice to check whe wasn't just a short woman! Yes I'm being very judgy but there is no way I would let my daughter out of the house dressed like that! Even on an adult the whole ensemble would be tacky and slapperish.

I wouldn't buy them for my 7 1/2 year old, too much of a heel.

Yuk city. Horrible. I've seen kids in the playground trying to climb up the slide and being hampered by ridiculous heels.

I have a 9 year old step-daughter - she'd want them, but I wouldn't buy them for her....
I also have a 12 year old step daughter...would let her have them if they were her type of thing (but they're not).

Yuk.

Inappropriate clothes for children? I used to run residential holidays. I once had a 12 year old turn up in a T-shirt (her parents had sent her off wearing this) saying "Porn Star In Training". Another physically well advanced (ie busty) thirteen year old appeared in a T-shirt saying "Don't look at these if you can't afford to touch them."
