UK's largest footwear chain has been slammed for selling sexy stilettos aimed at girls as young as six as they tend to sexualize children.

Priceless Shoes, which is selling the 5-inch stilettos has even reduced the price of the shoes from 16 pounds to 7 pounds to sell the adult-sounding Queen of the Catwalk style shoes.

"They look like the sort of thing a lap dancer would wear. It's utterly disgusting. I went to the shop to buy her some gold party shoes," the Sun quoted Sarah Shafi, the mother of a 7-year-old as saying.

"These open-toed black stilettos were reduced from 16 pounds to 7 pounds. They were size one, so I guess they are aimed at the six to eight years range.

"They look exactly like an adult pair that has been shrunk for the kids' market. I find it sick.

"Also children's feet are still developing. They could end up deformed," she stated.
