Katie Holmes has defended letting her three-year-old daughter wear high-heeled shoes.

The 'Mad Money' actress insists the footwear she bought for Suri - her child with husband Tom Cruise - are actually supporting her feet and she is happy to let her child mimic her fashion choices.

She said: "She, like every little girl, she loves my high heels.

"They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them."

Tom has previously spoken out about Suri's choice of footwear, insisting she is very "strong willed" about her appearance.

He said: "The other day, Kate showed her some gold-coloured sneakers thinking she might like to wear them, and she looked at them and said, 'Oh mommy, these are lovely, but they're boy shoes.'

"She's sweet, but she's very strong-willed - just like her mother."

It was recently claimed Katie spends over $25,000 a month on Suri's wardrobe as she is determined to have the "best dressed kid in Hollywood".

One has to ask the question "who cares?" there are parents out there committing far worse acts regarding their children than letting them wear heels how about we focus on that and leave these obviously decent parents get on with it.

One can't help but ask "Who's the parent here?" My own 4 year old grand daughter has made the same comment about a pair of shoes when shopping. An explanation that boys are unlikely to wear gold shoes so they are actually girls shoes would have done the trick I'm sure.

See what money does to people OMG $25k a month on Suri's wardrobe is just stupid. That is almost the deposit for a house but then I guess Suri will never have to worry about that

I work at a kids clothing store, and the amount of picky kids out there, that their parents pander to, its crazy. Suri wearing these shoes is no big deal.

One woman came into my store looking like a tranny's donation bag to the Salvation Army, then she derided everything in the store as ugly and cheap, and strutted out on her six inch stilettos, her kidonly seven years old and dressed the same as her. Ugh.

Suri is an angel compared to the crappy people we deal with every day. Fortunately mosty mums in our store are lovely, but some of the kids just refuse to wear certain things. It's incredibly common.

Katie really ought to concentrate on her own looks for a while - she's so haggard, and looks pretty average for someone with unlimited $
