jacqui in mo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A friend sent me these pictures in an email & I found them on the web. My dd commented that you're on pointe in most of them. http://www.sgclub.com/singapore/latest_shoes_rage_61031.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 *THAT* is what they need to put on the damsel-in-distress in the next action movie. Because you know as soon as you buy a pair of those, you might as well tattoo "MUG ME" across your forehead. Can you imagine the get-away scene? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Wow, how scary! You know, those first ones remind me of shoes created for those with "lotus blossom" feet. Are there still any folks around under age 40 who have had their feet bound???? Yikes, I thought that had stopped..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Those pictures are very funny, but they've been around for years. It's a joke. No one wears those things. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 There was a great shoe exhibit on at the Field Museum for a couple of years. I don't know if they still have it out or not, but they had a number of shoes belonging to those with lotus blossom feet and it was incredible how tiny they were. Thanks for the pics.

Slartibartfast Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I would sustain a serious injury before I ever had foot pain from wearing shoes like that :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd read about that process where they broke their feet and bound them, but I'd always pictured it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I can't imagine walking in those. I, um, don't think they are made for walking... if you know what I mean... :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
