The best part of this museum was the diversity of shoes on display - from antiquity to the modern day runner it was all there. If anything, it was certainly a memorable experience - just tell anyone that you went to a shoe museum and see the look on their face :) more

They had a size 20EEE Shaq shoe on display. Display of shoes thru the ages, from straw woven and tied to the feet to fancy-fancy stuff worn in Europe during the 17th/18th century. Asian, European, African... it was really interesting. more

A shoe museum??? Sound sort of strange?? I admit it - we were not sure about going to this museum - but had a great time and it was very interesting and informative. Covers the history of shoes, has an outstanding collection and we saw an interesting special exhibit of Chinese children's clothing and shoes. This is a one of... more

The Bata Shoe Museum has literally thousands of pairs of shoes, spanning the ages, from pre-historic times (although most of these are replicas) through to the future (a boot from the NASA training camp is there). Exhibits change frequently, so I can only speak of my visit, to say that Rococco and Asian history was very well represented. Celebrity shoes... more

My husband and I visited the museum in early June. It was almost empty and we sailed through the exhibits in little more than an hour. We did our tour quickly because of other engagements but felt we missed out. For those of you who love costumes or are anthropology buffs, plan on spending more time to read the fascinating... more

I don't even consider myself a huge shoe person, but I found this museum to be quite interesting, entertaining and well thought out. You can do the entire museum in about 1 1/2 hours (and that's going rather slow). The building is bright and airy with a stunning central staircase. Overall, a great diversion! more

This museum was well worth the visit (although I really wish my very bored husband hadn't insisted that he come). The collection of shoes is very well exhibited. I couldn't imagine ever being skilled enough to make such beautiful shoes. It would be a great place to take little girls as there are dress ups for them. There is a... more

A great rainy day activity......we stayed at the Holiday Inn which was right across the street. The museum is unique........ and interesting.......please don't bring the little ones....they will be very bored!!!!!!! There were kids when we went and it took away from the experience. I am a mother of three and I would NEVER have brought my child to this... more

I was initially biased against going to the museum as what can you see in a shoe museum that you are unable to see at Boutique or Shopping Malls? I was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism, history, information and displays - interesting juxaposition of exhibits...a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours well spent on my own. more
