The Bata Shoe Museum is a fairly new (1995) place to check out in Toronto. The obvious question for people with no sense of fashion (e.g. me) is “how could there be enough about shoes for a museum?”<\/p>\n
Well, I’m a nincompoop on that point. I was drawn in on the first level to the early history of shoes and how different ancient cultures took shoes from foot protection to haute couture.<\/p>\n
There was a floor dedicated to high Arctic clothing and footwear that showed just how smart indigenous peoples were at working with the available material. <\/p>\n
This leads us to the special exhibit on the top floor: Manolo Blahnik: The Art of Shoes<\/em>. For me his drawings of his shoes were better than the shoes!<\/p>\n The funny thing is that shoes are mostly made for women.
