Why were the girls feet bound?

The women bound their feet because in ancient China (and possibly a little now) they believed small feet where beautiful. So they bound the women's feet usually in early childhood breaking their toes and preventing running and jumping


Did men do foot binding?

No, this was something only done by Chinese Women to try and achieve what they thought to be "the perfect size foot" to look attractive to Men... It was a custom practised on young girls and women for approximately one thousand years in China, beginning in the 10th century and ending in the early 20th century. Foot-binding resulted in lifelong disabilities for most of its victims, though as the practice waned in the early 20th century, some girls' feet were released after initial binding, leaving less severe deformities." However, some effects of foot-binding were permanent, especially if a girl's arches or toes had been broken or other drastic measures taken in order to achieve the desired smallness. In the 1990s and early 2000s, some elderly Chinese women still suffered from disabilities related to bound feet.

In which country would you be most likely to see a woman wearing a "lotus shoe"?

Lotus shoes are the tiny shoes that are worn by Chinese women who have had their feet bound. The shoes are made of elaborately embroidered fabric, usually silk or cotton. These shoes are so small that they can fit in the average adult's hand. These shoes can be found in museums and private collections and are still made for the very few elderly Chinese women who still have bound feet.
