| - A museum about shoes. Well, if I'm completely honest, the word 'shoe' next to the word 'museum' doesn't fill with great expectations. That said, I went along with an open mind, hoping to be proven wrong. You never know, this could awaken a passion for shoes akin to Imelda Marcos. Alas, my worst fears were realized. It was boring. A wooden shoe, a leather shoe, a metal shoe, a stinky shoe, a tatty shoe, an old shoe, an older shoe, an even older shoe, an 18th century shoe, a 15th century shoe. Yes, I hear you cry, 'what did you expect from a shoe museum?' Well, good point. But I had hoped that they might have least shown a few more designer shoes of the 50s to present day, history of trainers, celebrity shoes etc. Best stick to visiting the shoe shops on Queen Street, me thinks.
