Foot binding, although notionally banned after the fall of the Qing Empiore in in 1911, continued in some remote areas for quite a few years under the Chinese Republic (1911-1949). Not so in Shanghai, always the arbitor of modern tastes and fashion. As a consequqnce, by the mid-1930s, Shanghais Zhejiang Road, Fujian Road and Nanjing Road had over one hundred shoe stores between them, with highly skilled shoemakers copying western styles, the most popular among these being high heels and open toe leather shoes. A Shanghainese woman, dressed in qipao and walking in high heels, became the iconic look of the age, and these two kinds of footwear continued to be changed and innovated upon, becoming staples of the Shanghai fashion world.
