    What an extensive display of shoes. You can even get to see some celebrities, all extravagant and unparalleled. From what is believed to be one of the first shoes to the present day. I hadn't thought before going to the Bata Shoe Museum how important footwear really is.

    The museum has a very novel way of telling history through time, through shoes. It seemed original to me to do something different in Toronto from what I had been doing. The truth is that the city offers a lot to the tourist, and it has this kind of little gems to learn and appreciate.
