When I was in High School( I'm 43 now), I was told that some Chinese people wear metal shoes to keep their feet from growing. The richer you are, the smaller your feet.It was a status symbol.

Historically, Chinese people wore metal shoes as a form of protection for their feet during battle or while working in hazardous conditions. The metal shoes were designed to provide stability and defense against sharp objects or rough terrain. However, this practice is no longer common in modern times.
