As always, just when I think humanity can't sink any lower it always surprises/depresses me.
what next? miniskirts and lipstick for babies?
Not quite stimulating the babies development when they try to walk wearing the things, I guess...
Also, why only for girls? :P
You know, with all the damage those things are known to cause adults...

I don't see a problem really. They're a crib shoe (not meant for walking). They're like all things sold to parents to make their baby look cute. I personally wouldn't buy all that crap, but I won't begrudge a parent who does... much.
At least it's not strings.

Wearing strings is at least better than not wearing.
Wearing strings is at least better than not wearing. In some ways, perhaps not in others (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4595231.stm).

Genital inflammation, eh? So there's a price to be paid for being sexy.

Hmm. In that way, yes. OTOH, the modern plastic fabrics of pantyhose and pants aren't good either.
