When these black high-heel baby shoes landed on my desk, I wasn’t sure what to do. Yes, high-heel baby shoes ($35) for newborns 0 to 6 months. They “shoes” are soft and cushy and cute in theory, but also rather terrifying.

They’re labeled:

Heelarious
Her first high heels

At first I thought of my friend Happy who just had a baby girl two weeks ago (congrats!) and realized they weren’t cute even as a gift. I tried to analyze my visceral reaction: This footwear is not age appropriate. And that’s an understatement. Did I mention they come in a purse-shaped package? Others have had the opposite reaction I had.

Would you put heels on a baby?
