Shoemaker Slammed For ‘Sexualizing’ High Heels For Babies

A shoe company has been slammed over its high heels for babies, which some parents claim are “sexualizing” young girls.

America’s Pee Wee Pumps have designed a range of shoes aimed at “fashion-forward mothers” and their newborn tots—who are up to six months old.

The soft slippers have collapsible heels and pointed toes and come in leopard print, zebra and pink patterns—with a cute little bow on top.

The shoes normally sell for $23 (£19) a pair, although they’re currently on sale at $8 (£7), and have names such as Diva, Sassy, Swanky and Wild Child.
