These fashionable wedge heels look perfect for summer. Only problem is, they’re for toddlers. Yes, that's right: Michael Kors has unveiled the Keely Wedge in sizes 1-5 Youth. You no longer have to wait for your teen years to be stylish.

The description for the heels read: “Geometric cutouts and shimmering rhinestone studs combine to offer the fashion forward Keely wedge from KORS Michael Kors Kids. This spunky sandal sports a zip heel for easy dressing, and elasticized straps for ultimate comfort. A covered wedge heel adds chic sophistication.”

Sophistication? For an eight-year-old? Parenting blog Babble compares them to “stripper shoes,” but we think they are going a bit too far. These shoes are pretty cute, and could even work for a tween. But for little girls, they are a bit ridiculous. What do you think?

1. Obviously .. the 'designer' is completely detached from the REALITY of Toddlerhood .. which is running about .. enjoying playtime .. growing and living lives ..
2. BONES in toddlers are definitely in the formative stages .. these HEELS .. even in adulthood .. are a strain on one's back and legs .. (I don't even wear heels .. and I'm in my elder years .. they are far too painful indeed)

Just INSANE ..
TODDLERS do not give one bit of CARE about 'sophistication' ..
and are more interested in playing with the BOX ..
taking the rhinestones out to glue onto cards for grandparents and parents ..
having FUN playing ..
than about how one 'looks' ..
(trust me .. there's no toddler I know that would even TOLERATE these on them .. )

Just wondering .. is this pandering to the "TODDLERS and Tiaras" crowd?
(Shudder)

My 4 year old niece and 2 year old nephew steal my heels and wear them around the house...sure it's cute, in that 'oh look what they're doing!" kind of way. But otherwise, no.

Exactly understandable' but to purposely dress little girls in heels and move about publicly is ridiculous, for what would be the purpose except for showing off"

To wear heels, one must be already know how to walk well enough to not fall. This is a disaster waiting to happen. You must be at least four feet tall or an adult to wear heels!

I twisted my ankle enough as a kid in sneakers playing around. Michael Kors is a douche bag for these.

No no no. Kids don't need to worry about stuff like high heels! Those will just cause growing problems and your kid to be really messed up later down the road.

High heels aren't good for the backs of the young or elderly.
