I'm not really a big shoe person, so I never thought I'd walk into a museum for shoes. I thought to myself 'really? Do people have nothing else to do?' Then one day I had a job that took me into the Bata Shoe Museum.
Man oh man was I ever wrong.
You don't need to be into shoes to enjoy this place. From the "shoes" that are thousands of years old, to one of Shakil O'Neil's custom made (meaning HUGE) shoes, this place has 3 floors of wacky fun.
I was supposed to be working, but I kept trying to wander off to look at the shoes, and really couldn't wait for the chance to actually look around and enjoy what the museum had to offer.
There's lots of fascinating information and facts about shoes. Stuff like heels improves your posture (not that relevant for guys, but still interesting).
The Bata Shoe Museum is one of those 'more fun that you realize' kind of experiences.
