[quote=SHESGOTTOBE,256453]I heard a very interesting thing about this practice, though of course, I do not know if it is true. They say that women’s feet were bound so that the feet will remain small. Having small feet means that the women won’t be able to run away from their family or husband since forced or arranged marriages were common in those days. They also have to walk slowly which would make them look daintier. Small feet also means that she is of noble birth because small feet means that she didn’t have to work.

I don’t have large feet myself. My shoe size is 5 or 5.5 sometimes. There is this shoes that I really wanted but couldn’t have since their smallest is size 6. But then, maybe that is large by Chinese standards. As for if other countries practiced foot binding, I am Asian too but I am not aware of any, maybe in some Chinese communities in other Asian countries?

This sounded like Chinese husbands-to-be had a foot fetish… which is kinda…. No wonder everyone was staring at my feet when I was wearing sandals in Beijing. LOL Maybe they were sizing me up.  ^_^
