btw, they also made the girls walk in snow after having their feet bound, believing it would help the feet sink into shape. (that’s what i heard)

It always shocks me how they formed the little heel. Xrays of this are so awful to look at, I absolutely cannot image the pain this would cause.

One of my grandmothers had started this process when she was young before it was banned. She would walk with a painful shuffle.

My great grandmother (native/Romany) bound her foot with wooden shoes for similar aesthetic reasons. She died with size 3.5/4 I think. It was nuts
