File:Foot binding shoes 1.jpg to appear as POTD soon
[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Foot binding shoes 1.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 10, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-12-10. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 17:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Some of these were apparently temple offerings
[edit]At least according to a sign at Northampton museum the ones in their collection were never meant to be worn but were meant to be temple offering. I can't currently find anything about it in RS.©Geni (talk) 23:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Unclear
[edit]Much of the article is not about the shoes themselves but about foot binding in general. As far as I understand, the shoes were not the primary mechanism used to modify the foot but rather footwear adapted to the shape resulting from foot binding; either way, the article needs to specify which it is. Instead of general information about foot binding, I would expect such an article to provide more technical information about how and why these shoes differed in shape from ordinary shoes and how their peculiar shape was conditioned by the shape of the bound feet. 62.73.72.3 (talk) 14:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
