Bata Shoe Museum: Manchu platforms19th centuryChinaThe Bata Shoe Museum. Manchu women were forbidden by law to have their feet bound, as was the custom among Han Chinese women. In order to mimic the desirable “lotus gait” of the Han women, Manchu women added high platforms to their shoes that stilted their gait. This pair is beautifully embroidered with a peony motif.

The brocaded silk was woven in Spitalfields, London, & dates from ca.1715 to 1720. At this time shoemakers still made 'straights'.
