宝宝高跟鞋：跟上时尚的第一步？

高跟鞋早已不是大人们的专利，如今连小孩子都开始穿高跟鞋。在美国宾夕法尼亚州，一家名为“小不点高跟鞋”的公司针对六个月大以下婴儿出售高跟鞋，还会请小婴儿们拍摄时尚的宣传画报，发布在脸书上。有网友认为婴儿高跟鞋“很萌、很可爱”，但更多人对此表示质疑，认为该公司的做法很“恶心”。

A US footwear company has sparked outrage among consumers and campaign groups over a range of high heeled shoes for babies.

But pictures of the fashion range posted online have led to criticism on social media sites.

The shoes, which have collapsible heels and pointed toes, are available for infants up to six months old.

In the latest post on the company's Facebook page, an infant in heels sits astride a miniature motorbike with the caption: "This little #Diva, defining cool posing in her #PeeWeePumps."
该公司脸书网页的最新更新是一个穿着高跟鞋跨坐在小摩托上的婴儿，标题是：“这个脚踩#小不点高跟鞋摆造型的#小天后定义了时尚”。
