In the daily life of the old times in China, men were regarded as the mainstay of their own families
Men have to work all through the years, even maybe have to leave their own hometowns to struggle for a better life, which lead to them a pair of painful and lonely feet
Their wives at home would entreat the gods to bless and protect their husbands
Those women would embroider them the insoles with the auspicious patterns elaborately, cherishing the most sincere hopes
The designs could be pictures, symbols, and even, more directly, the characters that would express their feelings
Influenced by the Chinese culture, those women were reserved to speak their emotions, however, they expressed their deep love and thankfulness in a sensitive and intelligent way by the embroidery insoles
The embroidery soles are made of cotton cloth, and embroidered with cotton thread of various colors by hand
It would cost a skilled woman about 10 to 15 days to embroider a pair of insoles
This kind of insoles are soft, breathable, wear-resisting, sweat-absorbing and long-wearing
They could be washed, and would never be out of shape
Also, the stitches could massage the acupuncture points of the sole of the feet, which could serve as health care
