Suri Cruise Wears High Heels ... Again!

Suri Cruise in heels

Suri Cruise's T-strap heels -- too cute or too much? Photo: INF

When we first spotted Suri Cruise wearing sparkly silver high heels while strolling around Boston back in September, we figured the adorable daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was probably just emulating her fashion plate mom or simply playing dress-up.

But, now, it's starting to look like shoes with height are a staple in Suri's wardrobe, and even her footwear of choice. She wore the silver pair again on Oct. 11, and, today, she was seen sporting a pair of glitzy gold T-strap heels.

And, so, the debate rages: Is it appropriate for a 3-year-old to wear high heels? According to StyleList poll results, 42 percent say yes, it's dress-up, while 30 percent feel that 3 is too young, and 28 percent think it's fine, but not in public.

What do you think? Leave a comment below!

Then check out Suri's style icon mother -- aka Katie Holmes -- on Elle's November cover.

Oh my...Suri is 3 going on 13. Those shoes don't look too comfortable for a 3 year-old and most of all they do not look appropriate. What's wrong with wearing cute little flat shoes, when you're a little girl? What's next? A thong and a leopard bathing suit? Oh wait, Liz Hurley and co already design this crap for kids.

Weird and unnecessary.

Of course it's not appropriate!
And i'm not talking about sexualizing little girls or anything (although a lot could be said about that).

It's plain and simple; wearing high heels is bad for your feet.
Wearing high heels when your feet are still growing is REALLY bad.

Would you put her in a corset? let her have a lip piercing? give her contact lenses?
All of these things will simply have a harming effect on a young childs body.

Come ooooon! Those are dancing shoes and heel is not THAT high!
I used to wear them when I was 4 or something and believe me, they are very comfortable and I'm not facing any problems with my feet now.

Runway, they don't look like dancing shoes, though.
I took lessons myself, starting at age 4, and didn't wear a higher heel like that until I was 10 or 11- and it was a low high heel.
If you didn't mean shoes for dance class, I don't know what you mean.
Even if she was "out dancing" --she's 3 for heavens sake.It looks silly--and not in a fun way.
Also, style?
She's wearing red, it looks Fallish or Winterish and yet they're goldtone T-straps and they even look opentoed.
If it's for "dressup" as we all did when we were little, it's fine.But it still looks kinda ridiculous out in public more than once..

Gee..I find it amazing that the shoes she has on are the same style I wore as a child student for beginners ballroom dancing 20+ years ago.

I guess if she was seen wearing a leotard, tights, dance skirt, ballet slippers, and her hair in a bun, she'd be called too "risque" .

Please people, the child is 3 years old. There are more important things going on in the world that is news worthy, not this fluff.

Dancer at heart, I understand better now.
You're talking about *ballroom* dancing and the shoes you wore and now she is wearing.
I hadn't known abut them as I didn't take ballrom dancing--so it makes more sense now.
We're answering here btw, like you are, because we were asked to, and the space is here.Not because this is so important.
I did take ballet and wore a short leotard and tights in class.I did not wear my tap shoes out on the street nor did I wear my ballet shoes-- neither the flats or the toe shoes.
So I still think it's stupid, but if it's about a dance class I think that kind of solves the whole giant mystery.;-)

I just want to point out that her body is appropriately covered for her age. Now for the shoes... if the shoes aren't causing her pain or long term foot problems and she's not constantly falling all over herself or being made to wear them against her will.... then let her dress up like her mommy..... no harm done.

I think little girls should look like little girls. Period! Our daughters grow up way too quickly as it is. There is such a small window of time for them to be little. They are women forever. And now back to my life..................

I think we have lost our rights-of-passage in this country for both boys and girls. I think wearing lipstick and wearing high heels is something that should come at a certain age with a special event - like on your 12th or 13th birthday you can wear heels to your party or after your baptism you may wear heels or some event that is very special. What do our children have to look forward to when they get everything available at 3?

I think she looks adorable and it is totally innocent. There are too many people out there just looking to pass judgement on everyone else. If something doesn't interfer with your life, which I doubt these shoes do, then stop being so miserable and judgemental.
