Suri is often spotted wearing miniature high heels - but parenting groups say they sexualise children, while experts say they could be damaging to their bodies
Parenting groups have criticised top retailers for selling high-heeled shoes for girls as young as three, claiming they encourage the sexualisation of children.
Chiropodists have also warned that wearing heels at such a young age could cause long-term health problems.
Accessorize and Next were among the High Street stores stocking the fashionable footwear yesterday, which has been made popular by Suri Cruise.
Heels on the high streets: The 'cha cha cha' shoes are on sale at Accessorize
The four-year-old daughter of Hollywood actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is often photographed wearing gold dancing shoes with a two-inch heel.
Accessorize, which is owned by the Monsoon clothing brand, was yesterday selling in one of its stores a pair of £25 ‘cha-cha-cha’ heels.
The shoes, which form part of the brand’s partywear range and are available in most of its chain of shops, start at a size seven, which would fit a three-year-old.
