"We are truly the shoemakers of the world," Bata boasts, and with 5,000 retail stores in 69 countries it's hard to contest such a statement. Since shoes are clearly Bata's business, it seems fitting that this company would open North America's first footwear museum. The Bata Shoe Museum houses over 10,000 shoes in an award winning, five-story structure. Looking at old shoes may sound ho-hum, but some of this footwear is 4,500 years old. Every shoe has a story. Imagine if your old loafers could talk? An easy means of getting here: take the Bloor line to St. George subway station. The museum is right across the way. Don't forget to wear your best shoes.
