Foot binding was a custom practiced on young girls and women for (approximately) 1,000 years.
Foot binding is dangerous and can ruin your feet. We are all kind of out of luck in terms of foot size, there's really nothing you can do about it. If you moisturize your feet regularly you can make them softer and more feminine though.
Foot Binding was also used to distinguish various classes in China (especially aristocrats and the wealthy), because the men who married wives who had foot binding needed to be wealthy enough to support the wife and the family. That is why the wealthy in the Ming dynasty and the Qing dynasty practiced foot binding on women.
