I did some reading on this subject recently. Many, many, if not most, women who were hobbled this way could barely walk 30 feet unassisted. A woman the age of the one in the photo probably can't walk more than a few feet unassisted, if that. It was a brutal process, being endlessly painful for the victim's entire lifetime. It lead to a lot of infections that caused gruesome death. Some attempts were made to ban it over the centuries, even by Emperors, but none really took until recently. Foot binding was made illegal early in the 20th century with girls and women being purposefully unbound by authorities. Today, the practice pretty much dead.
