Fashion Don’t: Fake High Heel Shoes For Babies

by Karen

I have a very long and diverse list of blogs I slog through each morning looking for content, so I see strange unholy things on the internet all the time. However, this is the only thing in recent memory that actually, literally, made me gasp aloud in horror.

These are soft faux leopard-print high heels for babies, and they make me cringe. Learning that they cost $35 makes them all the worse. Seriously. Just. So. Wrong. I don’t like to be judgmental about people’s baby fashion choices, but I am going to make an exception for these and say there is no good reason to subject your baby to this. Or me, in case I’m in the room too.

Definitely a terrible idea. The creator should be shot.

These “shoes” are so wrong. The tagline “her first high heels” is even more wrong. Not only does it imply that she *should* be in heels, but it implies that girls need to be sexualized as early as possible, even in the crib. Yuck!

You have GOT to be kidding me! This one crosses the line — surely this was meant to be given as a GAG gift and not something serious!!??
WOW!
