A US footwear company that manufactures and sells high heels for babies has attracted the ire of the internet.
Yes, you read correctly: high heels for babies.
Pee Wee Pumps is the brainchild of Michele Holbrook, who came up with the idea after she was unable to find suitable “crib heels” for her baby daughter. After two years, she successfully developed a shoe with a collapsible heel that stayed on her baby’s foot et voilà.
The company describes its shoes as “your daughter’s first fashion statement” and “like mom’s favorite pair of pumps only in a miniature size”.
It currently has six products for sale on the site, including the Diva and the Glamorous.
As one might expect, the product hasn’t gone down well with everyone with many describing the shoe as inappropriate and unnecessarily adult for babies, and questioning the marketing.
Others, meanwhile, have pointed out that, as the heel is collapsible and intended for babies who aren’t yet walking, it’s all just a bit of harmless fun.
OMG it's a bit of fun, some people love being offended! ✋✋✋ my little Latino baby will only be allowed to wear... http://t.co/7UmMa0Sjxa

Personally, we think booties trump heels any day, but hey.
This sassy little girl cut off all her hair so she could be like her Dad >
The ‘dad bod’ is taking over the internet — but what is it?
