They're cute.
They're pink or animal print.
They're (wait for it...) high heels for children!
We learn about the world at a young age.
How we dress, how we treat others, how we feel about ourselves can all be traced back to what we learned at the hands of our caregivers.
And today's little girls are learning that the shoes that are appropriate for them are high heels...
What ever happened to sneakers or the little shoes that look like ballet flats, but aren't?
Sure these children probably don't care what ends up on their feet as long as it can eventually become a toy to be chewed on, but what do these - very adult heels - say about the society to which they belong and why is it necessary for a 2 year old to have gender defining shoes?
Should mothers be outraged or happy knowing that their children can bloom into miniature fashionistas before cutting all of their teeth?
What do you think?
Is it cute to put little girls in high heels or are we just teaching them to forever walk on their tip toes?
