Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto Ontario Canada

[little-bea]

Not really a question but I wanted to share some info: If you're every passing through Toronto, Ontario in Canada try popping into the Bata Shoe Museum downtown. It's a treasure trove of info with a shoe collection that will boggle your mind! A great way to become familar with the history of footwear.

Here's the website:

Thanks Little-bea, and actually our member Jonathan was a curator there for quite some time! So if you ever have shoe questions you are in the right place to ask them! Jonathan is also a treasure trove of info that will boggle your mind!! :smug:

Totally agree...it is a great place and site!! Jonathan is officially our " Shoe Guy" and Bata was lucky to have him all those years, we are lucky to have him now to answer all our footwear questions!!
