Slingbacks for the Hot 2 Trot six-year-old
She’ll feel extra fab prancing around in these Hot 2 Trot wedges by Mia. . . . Crossing patent vamp straps wrap over the arches to a slingback . . . . A 1/2 inch cork textured midsole rises to a 2 1/2 inch wedge heel.
Prancing? Vamp straps? Slingback? These are children’s shoes. They would fit my six-year-old.
Oh, and they come in silver, too.
Listen, I’m sorry if you’re a bored copywriter, or a really, really bored shoe-namer: You still have to take some responsibility for what you produce.
The shoes are sold by MIA. You can contact them here.

This is unbelievable. I don’t think I would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes…
Sometimes it just seems so overwhelming….

@Marjorie, your comment is so funny because that’s exactly what I thought when I wrote the post: Overwhelmed. And tired. For some reason this one sent me over the edge. Do I really have to be writing out Hot 2 Tot kids’ shoes? Really?

Oh fercripesakes! As a name generation branding background person this offends on so many levels both visually and strategically with implications that I’d rate it right up there with the Lolita Girls Bedroom set. (member that one, Lisa?) ugh!!! –amy

Have you seen these? Crib shoes that look like high heels.
