		<description>The shoes pictured above the one of the elderly lady are primarily fetish type shoes usually worn by submissives in the SMBD subculture. The only ones that are not are the red boots and the black glitter ankle boots. Those just look like club shoes. The only legitimate traditional foot binding shoes in this whole article are the lotus shoes worn by the elderly lady.</description>

		<description>None of those shoes are &quot;traditional Chinese&quot; except for the actual &quot;lotus shoes&quot; of the foot-bound woman. Many of the styles pictured here resemble the chopines favored by Venetian courtesans in the 15th-15th centuries, and the ones that look like point shoes (ballet) are merely fetish shoes.</description>

		<description>Ok, the first few pictures, up to the one with the elder lady, are NOT foot binding. In fact, they have nothing to do with China or their tradition of foot binding at all. If I recall correctly, those were modeling pictures showing &quot;killer high heels&quot;. 

Apart from that, this is repulsive but I believe every culture has had similar repulsive traditions. China is a brilliant country, though still developing.</description>

		<description>This woman was shown on a Discovery Channel documentary; women with small feet were objects of desire (parents would apply bandages to their young daughters in order to attain small feet) until the Communists banned this tradition (who would have thought it). IMHO the music for that Discovery Channel presentation truly reflected the suffering of this women in order to marry a wealthy man, for their families&#039; sake. Sad.</description>
