It isn't known who in particular started the practice of Chinese foot binding. One idea is that it may have started with upper-class court dancers. It became a common widespread practice for all but the poorest working class people.

The binding of the Feet was a custom of the upper class in China. It may have started as early as the 13th Century, and is known to have continued in a limited fashion into the 1950's. More than just binding was involved. The arch of the foot had to be broken prior to the binding! This was a very painful process.
