Two-year-old Esmé had only been wearing her new jelly sandals for about half an hour when she started crying out in pain. She ran to her mom, Lisa, who was shocked to see her daughter’s feet covered in blood.
“Esmé was in absolute agony. I couldn’t believe it because she had only been wearing them for half an hour. It’s not like she was running around in them for hours. She was just plodding around the house and then came running in in tears,” Lisa Connor told Metro UK.

Lisa says she’s aware that new shoes often rub a bit for a a day or two, but she says that this wasn’t an ordinary case breaking of in a pair of new shoes. Her daughter’s feet were completely covered in blood.
Esmé’s dad had to calm her down for an hour afterward, but still, the incident ruined the girl’s entire birthday.
The fashion chain, Next, where Lisa bought the sandals from, took back the sandals and is inspecting them to see if there’s something wrong with them. But Lisa believes that the chain should stop selling the shoes completely.
“Other parents saw my pictures and messaged me to say they had similar problems. I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Lisa said.
A spokesperson for Next, however, says that the company has never heard of this problem before.
