  • Label for the exhibition Shoes: Pleasure and Pain Standing Tall In Qing dynasty China, women from high-ranking families wore exaggeratedly elevated shoes. The increase in height gave the Manchu ethnic women startling proportions. They towered over the shorter Han women with their tiny bound feet. The pedestals, sometimes embroidered or decorated with gems, could reach a height of 15 cm and would be visible below the skirt’s hem.
