Big fat "Meh" from me I'm afraid.
They are soft pram shoes for babies not yet walking.
Not to my taste but they do no harm

AssassinatedBeauty · 30/03/2017 15:02

Well they won't harm the baby's feet as they are soft shoes, but they are symptomatic of this obsession with genderising and sexualising what babies and girls look like.

MrsJayy · 30/03/2017 15:07

They are ridiculous looking however some parents like their girls looking girly they are no worse that bows on babies or frily hats

badabing36 · 30/03/2017 15:11

Erm dunno.

I don't like them, but sexualising babies? Are high heels just about sex?

Reow · 30/03/2017 15:13

Fucking hell. I hate this world sometimes.

ageingrunner · 30/03/2017 15:13

This is how they're advertised

I have seen outrage about this company (or a very similar one) a couple of times. I imagine they get a lot of business from people seeing the threads on here and twitter etc.

badabing36 · 30/03/2017 15:39

Yep, you got me there ageingrunner, pretty fucking disgusting.

Ugh. Doesn't that pic breach all manner of guidelines?

ageingrunner · 30/03/2017 15:58

You'd hope so wouldn't you Datun?

What the actual fuck

GoodyGoodyGumdrops · 30/03/2017 16:05

The picture on the BBC website looks like a raddled old Hollywood has-been! Hardly a good look.

And, yes, high heels are about sex. They mimic the arched foot position common in arousal, and arch the lower back and hips into an arousal position.

GoodyGoodyGumdrops · 30/03/2017 16:06

Not these shoes, obviously!

BigDeskBob · 30/03/2017 16:07

It reminds me of when people dress up their dogs at Halloween. That second picture is grim.

Soubriquet · 30/03/2017 16:07

So I'm guessing you haven't seen the bow glue yet? Where you can actually glue a bow on your babies head when there isn't enough hair to clip it in

M0stlyBowlingHedgehog · 30/03/2017 16:18

Holy shit ageing, that photo. There is not enough brain bleach in the world for that photo.

ageingrunner · 30/03/2017 16:21

I'm really sorry about the photo. Perhaps shouldn't have posted it tbh

Check this out

girlie glue

picklemepopcorn · 30/03/2017 16:26

That picture is appalling. Anyone we can complain to?

Footle · 30/03/2017 16:29

How about the ancient art of foot binding? Should that be revived?

Datun · 30/03/2017 16:38

ArcheryAnnie

You absolutely should have posted it.

Pink toys for girls was bad enough. Head glue worse. And this is the logical result. Girls have a role dammit and we're going to let everybody know.

WanderingTrolley1 · 30/03/2017 16:48

All manner of hideousness.
