They are on the olympic site. I think that they are extremly adorable. They each represent a certain aspect of the games like, field games, water sports and etc. Those little ‘children’ on the shoes are the mascots for the 2008 Olympic games as ‘dellsheng’ said.

I will have to ask my parents if big shoes have any significance in Chinese culture. I know in Cantonese, it sounds like the word for "children" but also it can be bad b/c it is also a homophone for "rough." I don’t get it.

The crippling of women and girls by deforming their feet is indeed something to be lived down, although as the scholar Dorothy Ko has pointed out in a series of very good books, it was something that women did to other women.
