The Today show had a segment on high heels for babies today. According to the high heeled creators,
"The soft crib booties designed to look like high heels are selling like wildfire in 22 states and overseas..." (New York Post)
Considering the injuries that can occur due to wearing high heels, the idea of us starting babies on the path of wearing high heels from such a young age is pretty concerning to me.
Really I find it just plain creepy.
[According to the American Association of Women Podiatrists:
Common high heel-related injuries include sesamoiditis (inflammation and swelling), neuromas (nerve damage), metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot). All too common high heel-related injuries include ankle sprains and even bone fractures of the foot.]
What do you think about the baby high heel?

Wow, definitely one of the creepiest things I have ever seen, and I'm thoroughly disgusted. I would go into a huge dissertation about the shallow and materialistic nature of the American society, and the rigid gender roles forced upon children the moment they struggle out of the birth canal, but it's not really worth it...
WHAT????!!!!!
INSANE!
ABSURD!
RIDONKULOUS!
Lord help us, all!
