Foot binding was a custom practiced in some parts of medieval China on young females for many centuries and finally discontinued in the early 20th century. Some, such as Sigmund Freud, consider the practice fetishistic, as it was done for aesthetic reasons, much as many women today wear high heels, despite the discomfort. Young girls' feet, usually at age 6 but often earlier, were wrapped in tight bandages so they could not grow normally, would break and become deformed as they reached adulthood. The feet would remain small and dysfunctional, prone to infection, paralysis, and muscular atrophy. It should be noted that this was initially only a common practice in the wealthiest parts of China, particularly in north China. However, by the late Qing Dynasty, footbinding had become popular among women of all social levels, including the poor.
The grandmother and mother would wrap her daughter's or granddaughter's feet around 2-3 years old. As the process went on over years, the girl would be in terrible pain. The reason for the heels becoming so hard is because the girl would walk on her heels during the process because her toes would be in such pain. After years of this process, the bones would heal in the position of the binding, and the girl would no longer feel pain. There would be contests to see how small the parents could get their daughters' feet to be. The smaller the feet were, the more beautiful she was; thus the more likely she would be chosen as a bride to a noble man.

Well in some asian cultures its considered beautiful when women have small feet. They would bond their feet by wrapping their toes back and wraping thier feet as tight as they could. Over time they would have deformed feet. So they could fit in smaller shoes. Bad thing is they could no longer walk. So i suggest you just either deal with the size of your feet or cut them off and get prosthetics
