Did you know that on average, humans will walk over one hundred thousand miles in their lifetime which is the equivalent to walking around the globe four times?

This involved the toes being forced under the foot and tightly wrapped every day, thus forcing them like that permanently, to give the impression of dainty feet. Tiny tooties were apparently a sign of attractiveness to prospective husbands. Ouch!
