Oh common. I'm sure little Suri just wanted to play princess dress up and loves, loves these adorable shoes. If anyone ever had a little girl who likes fantasy play they wouldn't be so judgemental.

Is'nt this considered child abuse?

You are so right. Let them play dress up at home once in awhile, but little ones deserve a chance to be children. They are grownups all to soon. Talk to a doctor about what high heels do to your feet, legs, and back, then decide whether you should buy them for little feet.

All little kids should be in sneakers NOT high heels. Stupid hollywood mothers.

Yeah, no kidding it's not appropriate. What kind of complete moron would ever, EVER, let a toddler out of the house in heels? It's been proven that heels are bad for people's backs and knees and God only knows what else. It's bad for grown-ups, what makes them think it's right for a kid? They're screwing up their kid's physical development and gearing her for having medical issues when she gets older.

I can't believe they'd be so irresponsible. Whoever said that this is child abuse in their comment is right.

why dont they let kids be kids and put on some sneakers always see her in a dress and dumb shoes

Are you people serious??? OMG a little girl stumbles while walking down the street! God forbid, she actually fall and scrape her knee!! Would you call child services then?? She's a CHILD....NEWS FLASH...CHILDREN FALL!!! And THIS is supposed to be NEWS??? Get a life....

It is definitely not appropriate for little girls to be wearing heels. it can mess up their posture and footing. I can understand a few exceptions like during special occasions or during playtime but not out on most regular days.

Playing dress up is code for a kid getting mom's shoes on and clomping all over the house. The shoes Suri is wearing actually fit her and she is trying to walk on cobblestones, which is hard for an adult to do in heels.

Shame on her parents. She could have broken an ankle.

Kids fall! no big deal. Thats what adults do. Make sure they don't get hurt. What little girl hasn't worn little princess shoes outside. Please those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I don't think little girls should be wearing heels!! I have a 5 year old and she loves to play princess but I do not let her out of the house in those shoes. It's dangerous enough wearing the shoes in the house but out in public?! That concrete is not prejudice! It hurts anyone!!

Why would any parent allow their child to wear high heels? Their bodies are growing and wearing heels that young can and does cause damage to developing structures in the back, legs, and feet. Please think before you expose your child to this kind of abuse.

Mary - I'm so sick of this princess crap I could scream!!! When a little girl says "I'm a princess" I feel it elevates her and put her on a pedistal to feel better or entitled, more then the next little girl. It's the parents that are perpetuating this myth. It's time it goes away.

I agree. Of course it is absolutely fine to play dress up in the house and when they are PLAYING but I have thought for years what is the point of putting shoes with heels on a little one that is just learning to walk and run and not paying attention to what they are walking on etc. Even when my 8 year old wants to wear her dressier shoes with a little heel out to school or to play the answer is no......when you are running around and playing on the playground etc...your gonna be falling all over the place.

Playing dress up should be done for exactly that...playing dress up...not day to day wear.

Dress up is fine. But did anyone else notice the weather! The Mom, and who ever else that is, probably the Dad, have warm coats, pants and warm footwear. It looks like they are dressed for what appears to be a wet chilly day. And yet Suri is in sandles with bare feet , she is wearing a warm coat, which just makes the whole thing rediculous. Someone needs to be the parent here. You know, like providing the necessities of life. Maybe some sparkly boots, I'm sure they can afford them.

You all are acting like she is prancing around in 3 in heels. All little girls love to get dressed up and she probably picked them out herself! She could have just as easily tripped with flat sandals on. You need to rethink the definition of child abuse. On top of it her mother was right there to catch her, get a life people.

Not safe for her to walk in those heels Katy.

It's already been researched about the damage wearing heals does to women's feet, so I am appalled at Katie Holmes putting her daughter in these "heeled" dress up shoes. What the hell is going through Katie's mind? I can't even understand why she's out in the rain, no less, in those little heels while her mother wears flat, sturdy boots. It's insane. Why not get her colored contacts so her eyes match her outfits? Katie, you were so normal, what the hell (besides the obvious) happened to you?!?!
