Would you let YOUR 3 year old wear high heels?

We've never really considered stocking high heels for 3 year olds as one of our ranges in our childrenswear shop, as it doesn't strike us as the most sensible thing to do!

So it's with interest that we've read the press recently and watched the growing furore over little Suri Cruise and her choice of footwear. Suri, the daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, has been seen out and about regularly in high heeled shoes, and they seem to be becoming a bit of a habit!

While we know that every little girl loves dressing up, we're not convinced that letting her wear high heels (and yes we know they're not 5 inch stilettoes but even so!) regularly is good for her feet.

The Daily Mail today has quoted mum Katie as saying:

'They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them.'

Well, ballroom dancing shoes or not, we're not sure they're suitable every day footwear for a growing 3 year old with paparazzi to outrun!

We'd love to hear your comments - please post below!
