I have a friend who has worn heels since high school. She would wear crazy stilettos, pointy toes, strappy shoes, and soaring heels to school. She wears them everywhere and can't bear the thought of wearing flat shoes, or even low heels (unless they're strappy or have a pointy toe). Let me tell you, her feet look postiively ghastly. Bunions, hammertoes, little cuts, nicks, blisters, and bruises. And she definitely isn't alone. A lot of women will wear shoes that are hideously painful to look alluring. </p> <p>Of course, footbinding was a horror and I don't mean to diminish that. But at that time period, and in that culture, it was considered perfectly normal. Maybe centuries from now, people will look back at the footwear we force ourselves into and wonder what we were thinking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-for-fashion#post-47804 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:33:57 +0000 shell 47804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah, there should definitely be a warning before the foot binding photos! my feet hurt just thinking about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-for-fashion#post-47747 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:37:22 +0000 taylor 47747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh laura65 I am right with you on that foot binding...I felt ill at those photos!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-for-fashion#post-47689 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:30:57 +0000 Laura 47689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are so lucky to be living in this era - the foot binding almost made me lose my lunch. </p> <p>You're right, Shiny.
