High Heels for Babies. Now Your Little Precious Can Look Trashy From Day One

POSTED June 12, 5:04 PM

High heeled "Heelarious" shoes are comfy enough for baby.

Un-be-lieavable.

Just when we thought the Ugly Mommy Gets Pretty books were the height of vanity and foolishness, someone goes and puts high heels for babies on the market.

I had to check several times to make sure this was not a joke.

It isn't.

The makers of Heelarious shoes offer "extremely funny, completely soft, fully functional high heel crib shoes" that come in only one size (0-6 months).

"High heel crib shoes"? What's next, baby wigs and cosmetics for babies?

Listen, I am usually pretty laid back and can find the humor in things, but this is plain scary. Stop the madness people. They're babies, not toy poodles. They've got their entire lives to be painted, scrutinized, and squeezed into heels and tight clothes . . . let them be babies.

For more info: Check out the website for the nutjobs making Heelarious shoes. Just . . . don't buy them.
