My 14 year old daughter wants these shoes - what do you think?

Question

She states everyone has them and they are for protection. She can push a button and they will dial 911 - so the police will always know where she is at.

Answer 1

yeah right..

Answer 2

Tell her that if she is so concerned she can have those sneakers that come with a tracking device, which (if the owner is passed out) can be scanned at the police station or at a hospital and brings up the owners name and medical history.

Those shoes are ridiculous

Answer 3

they're point less. if she as a cell phone she can use that to call 911.

unless she can buy them for herself don't bother

Answer 4

I think they look like they are "in case of an emergency shoes"  For a certain kind of Shall we say career choice, That I would not let my daughter be dressing like.

I would do a cell phone or even a limited cell phone (only can call parents and 911) Before I would buy those shoes.

My personal opinion

Answer 5

Everyone has them yet I bet everyone looking at this has never seen them.....my opinion??? they look like pole dancer shoes!...something I wouldn't let my 14 year old wear...not even if her shoe calls 911!

Answer 6

that's just a reason for you to buy them for her. if you do get them, she'll probably just wear them for three months and she'll never look at them again, not to mention, she's going to need to call 911 when she falls due to the size of that heel.

Answer 7

Don't be a sucker!  

Answer 8

A cell phone does the exact same thing.

I think it's just another pointless idea to make yet more money. She doesn't need them and the size of that heel is just silly. Buy her some more sensible shoes.

Answer 9

I doubt "everyone" is going around in these God awful shoes. I think most girls would find those repulsive and I am sure the schools would not allow them. It would be very easy for you to break your ankle in those things. I would say NO WAY!! There has got to be another way to keep her safe. She just wants an excuse to have these shoes.  

Answer 10

Oh yeah, my 16 year old daughter and all her friends have them- NOT!!!  What ever happened to a cell phone?, and if you are afraid that she would have a huge bill, then get her a to-go phone, or something. 911 can be dialed very easily from a cell phone.  I think she would need 911 to help her with the injuries she may get from falling with these shoes.

Answer 11

I think the shoes are ridiculously high and she'll probably end up breaking an ankle.  You're totally within your rights to not buy them.  And let her know that cell phones also dial 911.  

Answer 12

i wouldnt want them aand i wouldnt want cops alwyas knoing were i am buttt that would b y ud want to get them.

Answer 13

Answer 14

no

your daughter has no taste

Answer 15

Ha well I've never heard of them before. I've never seen anything like it. Is she sure those are real? I couldn't image shoes with huge heels like that where they have a built in phone thing capable of calling 911. Why wouldn't she just use a cell phone?  

Answer 16

I Think those are one of the most ridiculous pairs of shoes I have ever seen. They make sneakers and other shoes that have trackers on them so you can always know where she is, if that is really why she wants them then she would like the sneakers just as much right?

Answer 17

Not only are those shoes UGLY as h**l, I bet they cost a small fortune.

I wouldn't even buy those for myself, nevermind a 14 year old.

Answer 18

Just another way for the government to track your every step.  Good idea, but not realistic.

Answer 19

i agree with kay why doesnt she just use a cell phone

and if she doesnt have a cell phone a pre-paid one it probably much more in expensive then the shoes

and i also think its an excuse to get them , the 911 thing

hope i helped!
