Katy Perry's shoe that is under scrutiny for resembling blackface is about to be yanked ... TMZ has learned.
Katy's got a whole shoe line for sale at retailers like Dillard's and Walmart -- and a couple of her designs feature what looks similar to blackface ... the "Rue Face Slip On Loafers" and its high-heeled counterpart, "Ora Face Block Heel Sandal."
The "face" shoes have two eyes, a nose and red lips on them, and they come in two different colors ... black and beige. The black one is problematic, because it looks a lot like classic blackface makeup, which the fashion world does not seem to recognize time and again.
The "face" heeled sandals are also problematic ... and Katy's catching major heat for having the shoes on store shelves. Even singer Masika Kalysha is calling for Katy to answer for this, saying on social media ... "So we just gonna let Katy Perry slide?"
Sources connected to Katy tell us these specific shoes are just part of an entire line of shoes she's designed and released ... and they were never intended to be offensive. However, we're told, "In order to be respectful and sensitive the team is in the process of pulling the shoes."
I didn’t like licorice even as a kid.

How about red licorice? Oops, that will be gone as well. An absolute insult to Indians.
Toasted Marshmallows are about to become the new favorite.
Good point, LouieFisk.
I want nothing to do with Alinsky, but hey...it is their tool. I have no problem with these iterations of it.
OMG...black Barbie....shut down this racist company.
And this is both racist and violent
My Gawd, those are some butt ugly shoes!
Ugly shoe no matter what, but I’m a steel-toe work boot type.
None of any color.
It was like eating rubber...................
Star Trekkie.....................
I never thought I’d see footwear uglier than Crocs, but I guess I was wrong.
How about the black licorice gummy baby candies? They still make them. Seems racist... I can’t believe they are still sold. Seems to be in bad taste.

licorice of any size, shape or color makes my skin crawl...................
We used to eat those all the time in the 1950s. I was shocked they are still being made and sold....
Not me.
I'm over at RBG's house playing cribbage and working out.
OK. You are forgiven.
But, if you happen to be a Redskins fan, I recommend you stock up on Redskin T-shirts well before the inevitable calls for a name change.
It’s a new world. Yippee.
I’ve been saying for months In God We Trust has been replaced by You Owe Me an Apology.
The only ‘Redskins ‘ I like are peanuts...................
GO COWBOYS!........................
