why not

[tams8888]

ok here the thing i agree let girls be girls and girls like to dress up just becouse they wear a little heel doesn't mean they will grow up to be naughty or not self reliant. girls like to be pretty its not like they are going to wear these shoes everyday all day you can stil wear heels look good and be educated and smart. looking good is feeling good

my daughter would not agree with that...at all....

but not everyone has to wear them i am talking the girls who do want or like this to dress up why would anyone want to buy something thier daughter didn't want (not trying to sound rude ok)

the 'girls want to be pretty' bit......not all are bothered,stereotyping from the off there!!

so heels = pretty ?

it depends on who you ask whether heels are pretty or not i guess but stereotyping really what kind of stereotyping you talking
about explain

journo alert

i do not know what journo means ???

General sweeping statements like 'girls like to be pretty' are a bit odd IMO. Why does dressing in certain things = pretty anyway. Surely someone can be 'pretty' without wearing special stuff?

I don't think the issue is about girls wanting to be pretty. The fact is that heels are not very good for developing feet. Bunions are never a good look.

yes you can always look pretty no matter what you wear but do you wear sweat pants and t-shirt when you go to fancy rest. with your husband or to a wedding or to a prom or to church. no you dress up some people wear flts some wear heels why can't a child experience same thing even my son likes to do his hair smell good and where nice dress shoes is this a bad thing now a days have we became such a society we see pass the all this quote steroetyping i mean if you think there is a stereotyping of girls or women who wear heels then u to have to join the club who does that i do not look at someone you wears heels diffrently if she would wear flats then it must be the problem of the person making the comments or steroetyping that child not the child fault nor what she wears

USE A FULL STOP OR A COMMA

i do not think wearing a heel on occasion is going to hurt your feet either

sorry about stoping and comas

Yes you can always look pretty no matter what you wear, but do you wear sweat pants and t-shirt when you go to fancy rest. with your husband or to a wedding or to a prom or to church. No you dress up. Some people wear flts some wear heels why can't a child experience same thing. Even my son likes to do his hair smell good and where nice dress shoes is this a bad thing. Now a days have we became such a society we see pass the all this as "steroetyping". I mean if you think there is a stereotyping of girls or women who wear heels, then u would to have to join the club as one of those people who does that, i do not look at someone you wears heels diffrently if she would wear flats. Then it must be the problem of the person making the comments or steroetyping that child, not the child fault nor what she wears. To use the excuse that it would hurt her feet. Come on really !!!!! People just want to find fault and cause drama. If you don't like don't buy it. Just do not shout at people who do. If your daughter wants them tell her "no". If she cries be a parent and deal with it.

Because they are CHILDREN. They are not mini-adults. They should be outside, climbing trees and getting muddy, or at least (if they are less rambunctiously-inclined) making daisy chains and hunting for fairies at the bottom of the garden.

They shouldn't be wearing padded bikinis, or "Wannabe WAG" T-shirts or, frankly, high heels (which are bad for developing feet and posture; they put feet in a plantarflexed position with increased amount of pressure on the forefoot, cause lumbar spine flattening and a posterior displacement of the head and thoracic spine. Yes, really.) High heels are worn by adult women because they accentuate the calves, define the muscles of the bottom, make legs appear longer and feet smaller, and produce what is generally considered a more seductive gait. None of these factors ought to apply to a child.

Some people wear crotchless underwear and nipple tassles, why can't a child experience those things? Because they are inappropriate for children, and I don't think it's just finding fault or causing drama to say so.
