"Superb Collection"

I know it's shoes.... but.... you'll be amazed by their amazing collection. There are many century old shoes, rare finds, and many interesting stories that go with them. They also offer great exhibits of more contemporary artists such as Manolo Blahnik, with his exquisite sketches. It is worth the visit.

I as staying nearby and had some time to fill so I decided to check out the shoe museum. The building is interesting and the displays of the history of shoes were informative. I ended up spending less than an hour but it is worth a stop if you are in the area.

"Shoes and interesting tidbits"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed February 01, 2020
I read some of the below average reviews. While they are accurate in their comments I think their expectations were too high. Come to learn about what shoes mean to people around the world (not all but major cultures). For example, the information about “San cun Jin liang” and bounded feet for Han Chinese women, information about the Arctic people and their shoes and parka, etc. It’s $14 adult admission and you CAN spend 2-3 hours.
