I noticed a lot of chinese, koreans and japanese are bow legged. Are there things u cannot do because of ur legs?

what's bow legged?...it sounds familiar but I can't remember what it means..


is it short legs compared to the rest of ur body?...cause, no my legs are pretty long...

I dont think so

No, my legs are pretty straight.

girls usually got knock-knees not bow legs

Nah...I got long, straight legs

I don't think I know anyone with "bow legs".

It must be a nightmare with roller skates on tho........

there are a lot of bow legged people here observe their legs carefully

They just have short legs.

mm as far as i know, i have normal legs

I don't think I have ever seen Koreans or Chinese with bow legs. Mostly Japanese.


Great example. A site about Japanese fashion. That really shows how most Koreans and Chinese have bow legs.

you cant walk down stairs normally
you gotta go sideways, and one step at a time

yeh i've got bow legs. you can stop correct them using special inserts designed by a podiatrist when you're growth plates in your knees are still present

All Soccer players got bow legs

yer i had knock knees in my early teens but fading, kinda bow legged too cuz i used to play soccer heaps

bow legs may also be caused by diet, not genetics. a lot of asians don't get enough milk as it is not traditionally part of the asian diet.

^well said.

on that note, i know a few people with bow legs, a few not asian.

it's also a symptom of rickets, a vitamin D deficiency.

what u mean bow leg? this () look like a round leg to me..but i notice some asians with gap bt their thighs

^ eek !

never seen that before

Ya, Koreans do have bow legs, a lot of them that is (not sure if its present today). I think the reasoning behind it is the way they carry their babies. They have the kids legs wrapped around the side of their body in a Bow fashion like this ( ). Since they are young and their bones are forming, they end up forming in that shape. I dunno if Korean mothers carry their babies like this in this day and age, but ya I have heard of this before.

that picture up there is a really severe case.. most people with bow legs are like this (the girl):



idk if this girl is intentionally standing with her feet inverted, but bow legs generally are that shape.
