Chinese Women with Deformed Feet (15 pics)

foot binding a strange and kinda horrifying practice, must be painful :(

The feet that reached the perfect size and shape were called Golden Lotuses.

I agree this practice is strange and horrifying and I kinda hope that the introduction to these pictures was just unfortunate wording because these are not the "Deformed feet of Chinese women after the years of wearing tiny shoes".

So as not to undermine the suffering of these women I feel compelled to point out that this effect was intentionally achieved by breaking arches and/or toes, wrapping them in a bent position and other drastic measures in order to achieve the desired smallness. Not continuously jamming feet into shoes that were too small for the wearers.

K, I'm stepping off the soapbox now. As you were. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

Like a foot fetish of a size five in a 6" pure heel.

What a weird culture

Thanks for the info Frimmy, don't mind if I do. The smoking lamp is lit.

chinese feet binding is a very disturbing practice. and by the looks of it. it looks pretty painful

Los tacones altos son igualmente inhumanos. Algn da la belleza de una mujer y su valor ante la sociedad ser medido por si mismas, no por imposiciones misoginas.

High heels are also inhuman. Someday a woman's beauty and value to society will be measured by themselves, not by impositions misogynist.

odd practice.

Damn thats hot!

DocMcCoy,
What do you know about smoking lamps, Sailor?

yeah, well at least they don't have big feet. That's just not attractive at all...
