Ummmmmm…Feet?

This is an old Chinese custom of feet binding which was banned during Mao’s era, so I’m guessing this old lady is a remnant of the old custom. In the old Chinese Society, small feet in women were preferred, so they bound baby’s (girls only) feet in iron shoes to prevent them from growing. Of course, it caused deformity but as long as their feet fit in the smallest shoes possible, they’re cool with it.
