"Fun & Interesting"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5

This was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. On the face of it, it would not appear overly interesting but you could not be more wrong. There were many different types of shoes, along with the history of foot ware, not only for First Nation people but different people across the world. The exhibits, when needed had all the necessary annotation to explain exactly what you were looking at and the background. Well worth the couple of hours if you take your time.

Bata being headquartered in Canada, I was interested when I heard about this museum. It has a wide collection of footwear from different parts of the world. However, I was hoping to see a specific exhibit on all types of footwear manufactured by Bata. I didn't see anything like that (I hope I didn't miss it 🤔) I would suggest they have some such thing there

I love shoes and love buying shoes. I wish I had 8 feet, then this museum would mean even more to me. Only 2 feet mean I don't need as many shoes - a little disappointing.

One of the days we were in Toronto it was raining so we made it a museum day. We were up at the Royal Ontario Museum and Bata is nearby. Turned out to be a great time. They have exhibits of footwear from thousands of years ago to contemporary times. Saw shoes from ancient times that looked like the ones Lady Gaga wears on stage today!
