My paternal grandma had bound feet. We still owned one of her shoes that looked like one of those below.

Lotus pointe shoes
I remember grandma had mangled feet and I can only imagine the excruciating pain she went through to fit her feet in her shoes.
Grandma died almost twenty years ago.
And I still miss her.
