HOLY SHIT! HER TOES ARE *UNDER* HER FEET :jaw2

As for the shoes...you couldn't pay me to wear those and I used to wear some pretty uncomfortable shoes.

[khanson]

Yeah Brooke, definitely DON'T look at those. You'll FREAK OUT and hide in a corner for like 2 days!

[erin anne]

:jaw2 wow, the only people who could even remotely wear those comfortably would be ballet dancers.....and like the reader who commented at the end of the article, bound feet is a Chinese cultural thing, not Japanese.

Ouch!

[Lorah]

HOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :faint

Ya, I'm sooo picky about my feet being bound in tennies that I wear my sandals all year long.... I can't even imagine!

BROOKE STAY AWAY FROM THOSE!!!!! Be afraid, be VERY afraid!

[lizirroja]

I saw this a few weeks back and I was pretty disturbed! GROSS!

[becky]

OMG i have seen photos before but these were the most graphic. WOW

Those shoes look like fancy ballet slippers. OUCC

[Kellie_MO5]

Oh my GOSH.. that last pic.... WOW! Talk about form fitted shoes.. her feet were in the shape of the freakin shoe! OWWW!!!!

[StacyK]

OMG I don't even have words for how painful that must be...I'm mortifide:jaw2 :faint !!!!!

[ladybish]

Terrible!

[Leigh]

Yeah, the "en pointe" shoes are pretty ridiculous!

How do you like the horse shoes .... serious Fetish material, there!

Been a long time since I've seen pictures of bound feet. Amazing what the human body can tolerate. Similar to the neck rings, the lip plates, and the ear lobe stretching....

I actually kinda dig the red platforms!
I would wear those for halloween! :pumpkin

The platforms all made me think of drag queen shoes :lol

[Kellie_MO5]

HA, I would SO kill myself in those.. but as long as there was someone next to me, then it would be fun to at least try them... LOL

(You MUST see the movie "Kinky Boots". Based on a true story!)

And if you like Chiwetel Ejiofor, you must see "Dirty Pretty Things"

.

[Kellie_MO5]

ooh, I saw that movie... Awesome! LMAO

[lornabrown]

and I thought my mom tortoured me with small dancing shoes.

[Brookepanda]

Yeah Brooke, definitely DON'T look at those. You'll FREAK OUT and hide in a corner for like 2 days!

I'm so not even clicking that link!
I'm crying just thinking about what could be behind door #1!

[becky]

don't do it Brooke you will die if you click on the link. If i think the bound feet was freaky you would pass out at the first sight of it.

[becky]

I would like to see someone actually walking in any of those shoes. When i look at the pics i imagine the woman wearing them are holding onto something to keep their balance just for the pic and then fall flat on their butt after the pic is taken :lol
