I feel sorry for anyone who would wear these...

I just don't get it.

:shk:

If you HAD to wear a pair, which would it be? Me? I'd choose the 7th pair.

ok aside from being hidious wouldntsome of them brake ur toes i mean look

all ur weight would be on a few toes so i would call them
TOE bREAKERS

I just see red 'x''s I think your pics are broken. Are you ing?

Me spamming? HAH. Never.

The photos work for me, and I assume this is yellow 13 sees them due to his comment.

I don't know why you don't see them.

just for the record...

i dont see them either...

Well.......um.....Those are quite hideous....

Looks like a slightly more ethical throw-back to Lotus shoes....The physically forced appearance of tiny feet was a turn on for the upper society of China for centuries....

The shoes...


The effects on the feet:


I was totally unaware of this phenomenon until I was browsing the shelves of Barnes & Noble and stumbled upon this fantastic book:
Splendid Slippers: A Thousand Years of an Erotic Tradition

am teh broken for me too






barf @ that elephant foot

wow those are cool!!!!!!! dont show my big sis them she loves shoes and im sure she would want a pair! lol

now i can see the pics...

funny...

i guess...

i feel sorry for anyone who would wear this!




URGHH!!!....A MANCHESTER CITY SHIRT!......(vomits)

hehe got to say i do like the 3rd pair! but my toes just hurt even looking at them, i cant imagin the state of my feet and the pain i would be in on after a night out in them, though i also do ballet and pointee so maybe my feet would be more molded for them.

yeah thast pretty sick,,... thats Chinese tradition... im not sure but i think "Gueishas" have to do that too... or used to have to do it ...

EWWWWW! Damn, some people do sacrifice alot for fashion!

yer use most of your paycheck for a new pair of sjoes but to ruin

your body to that extent is stupid!

but that is their views, no matta how nasty it is

x x oni x x

Oh GAWD! That foot is disgusting! /puke

OMG!! that foot is awful! i don't understand people who suffer to look a certain way because of a tradition or style. we have only one body and shouldn't take it for granted!

well, those shoes are really unusual LOL wouldn't wear any of them, maybe only for halloween with #8 i could be a horse! yay!

can't se any pictures about the shoes (at last i asume we are discussing shoes ) but i can see the foot looks like something from foot binding.

What about plastic surgery, face lifts, breast augmentation and piercing to name a few modern western body modifications to make one more appealing to the opposite sex? While foot binding is foreign to me and less than attractive IMO I can’t judge another people on their own traditions however strange they may seem.

Maybe you were including the things I mentioned in your statement but I thought a lot of people would overlook the fact that western people do many similar things to their bodies for many of the same reasons.
