In 17th century Spain, it was illegal for anyone other than a woman's husband to see her bare feet. A woman could freely expose her breasts, but feet were considered sexual and had to be covered in the presence of men other than her husband.
I have mixed feelings about this one. If the US had adopted this and still enforced it, I bet a lot of us here would suffer. >_>

I've always known that female bare feet were considered shocking, in the past!

Old medieval rules. Kinda like a modern day Middle East!

Pretty wild- feet more sexual than breasts.
