The baby market is huge - and you can buy billions of items that you dont need for your baby. Some of these items are just stupid, some are actually dangerous. This one appears to be a combination of the two.
A new company, Heelarious, is offering high-heeled baby booties for 0-6 months. While they are clear to state that these are "for the sake of fashion" and should not be used for babies that are walking ... the whole concept is just ridiculous. Babies are not dolls or toys - things that you dress up and take out for show. Items like this just infuriate me.
