Toddlers are naturally attracted to all sorts of disruptive toys and gadgets that always seem to make the most annoying noises one could possibly comprehend. It's amazing that adult humans design these things to be highly irritating—are they just trolling parents with these things? Whoever invented kids shoes that squeak is either five years old or borderline evil. Then again, a lot of parents find squeaky shoes useful for getting toe-walking toddlers to learn how to walk heel to foot. I totally get it, parents need to take what they can get when it comes to fun educational tools, but there's a time and a place for loud loafers, and a wedding ain't one of them.

u/Cymbal_Monkey recently ranted on r/entitledparents about one couple who let their kid wear squeaky shoes to a wedding. The toddler was apparently squeaking all throughout some rather touching wedding speeches. While some redditors in the comment section were baffled by the mere existence of noisy kids shoes, others (mostly parents) were a bit more understanding.

    Font - Some dear friends got married the other day, and it definitely was not a child free wedding. And to the parents in attendance credit, the two toddlers were mostly very well behaved and as quiet as toddlers can be expected to be.

    Font - Except for the goddamn shoes. The point at which it came to a climax of "how the hell did you think this was acceptable" was during the after dinner speeches. Parents and close friends delivered beautiful speeches

    Smile - I just stared daggers at this couple. How on God's green earth did either of them think "ah yes, wedding, get the shoes with dog toy squeakers in them, people will definitely not hate us."

    Font - HolyJesus623 1d I purchased my daughter a pair of light up shoes when she was in first grade. I showed up to the parent teacher conference and the teacher said: I love that her shoes light up and play music. I was mortified. I had no idea that they played music, apologized profusely for any disruptions to class, and never let her wear them to school again. How did I miss that fun little feature?? ↑ ... 1.2k

    Rectangle - homebodyadventurer 1d I'm so glad those didn't exist when my children were toddlers. I'm so glad I haven't encountered them in the wild now. I'm so glad. I can't imagine anything worse. ↑ 823

    Font - Purple_Daisy44 1d At my stepsisters wedding recently I think everyone would have preferred squeaky shoes than have to suffer the vulgar outbursts of my stepbrother during the speeches. Which were also being recorded, with the videographer set up at the end our the table he was sitting at so was definitely heard by all. I always meant to ask if they managed to edit the outbursts out ↑ ↑ 214 ↓ ...

    Font - faayth 1d One of my kids had a single pair of shoes that were acceptable to wear. Fortunately for us, they weren't squeaky shoes, but I can totally see the mom of that toddler stressed out, trying to get out the door to the wedding on time, and choosing her battles. Could the parents have taken the shoes off the kid or had the kid sit down during the speeches, sure. So that was inconsiderate and could've been handled differently. ... 196
