High heels for newborns

Posted by Brett Singer

HeelariousNo. Really. That's what this is.

Is this how you end up with a Britney Spears? Start 'em off young?

They're from a company called Heelarious. They are, "extremely funny, completely soft, fully functional high heel crib shoes for babies." Despite being "fully functional" the shoes are "not intended for walking (heel will collapse with weight). Not intended to harm children in any way." Well, not physically, anyway.

Favorite comment (among many): Oh thank god! I was thinking my 4-week-old niece's legs were looking a little chubby…

Can we do better? I know we can.

Yeah, because I'm SURE the baby will remember being dressed in heels.  Dressing up an infant to be entertaining isn't really new, you know, and putting an infant in high heels is not at all the same thing as putting a toddler in high heels.  Come on, people, life doesn't always have to be taken so seriously.

Oh I don't know that it's any more harmful than sticking foreign objects into a childs ear lobes, glueing a bow to her head, or putting colored enamel on her little nails!

A lot of us see those things as very strange and perverse.

again, parents need to make the deciscion. if someone puts them on their baby and tries to draw any sort of sexual attention to her, then its wrong

i admit, I dressed my daughter up alot when she was that young. all the family get togethers. But i drew the line with a cute hat and some shoes with things like flowers on them or a hairbow. heels are kinda pushing it thereis something to be said for some classic white buster browns...

"People wonder why old men look at their daughters."  Are you serious? Who in the world would look at a baby- dressed up in heels, fishnets, the aforementioned wig, and a face of makeup and think "ooh, sexy!"?  

I think they're cute.  They're ridiculous and cute.  If I had a baby girl, she'd be rockin' them.  :P

Come on, "people wonder why old men look at their daughters", "These will be the 14 y.o. moms of the future". It doesn't take heels to make old perverted men do that and neither will these shoes make them become mothers at 14. Chill out. People will but babies in a baby bikini and think it's adorable. That shows more then the shoes will. I looked at the picture closely and these in no way shapes the babies foot like a pair will an adults foot. This part needs to be read again, "shoes are "not intended for walking (heel will collapse with weight). Not intended to harm children in any way".

And then people wonder why our world has become so perverted.  tehre are even individuals on her, who look at this as "no big deal"....Oh its fine to dress your child in "fake" heels.  Who are heels typically worn by people?  Grown women, not infants, or young children...whats next the thong diaper?
