Discover the treasures of North America’s world-renowned shoe museum. Located in Toronto, Canada, the Bata Shoe Museum has over a thousand shoes and related artefacts (from a collection numbering over 13,000) in architect Raymond Moriyama’s award-winning five-floor structure.
The BSM celebrates the style and function of footwear in four impressive galleries. Footwear on display ranges from Chinese bound foot shoes and ancient Egyptian sandals to chestnut-crushing clogs and glamorous platforms. Over 4,500 years of history and a collection of 20th-century celebrity shoes are reflected in the semi-permanent exhibition, All About Shoes. Three other galleries feature changing exhibitions, so there’s always something new to see.

What a fun museum! Exhibits were well designed and informative. Also Sundays are free admission. Definitely worth a visit when in Toronto.

We heard about this museum from the hop on hop off bus tour and thought it sounded interesting.
The museum is a lovely building with the displays spread over 3 floors. We thought it was really well set out. There was a permanent display and a couple of themed ones.
There's an informative display about the history of footwear in different cultures. We also saw displays about footwear in crime, and cowboy boots.
Apparently they own a few celebrity shoes but they're not always on display. We liked seeing Elton John's boots and Bela Lugosi's shoes.
There's an area downstairs where children can try on lots of different styles of footwear.
Reasonable cost and worth a couple of hours to visit.

Interesting short visit, allow about 45 mins. Well presented museum, one of the displays under renovation so not open. Staff friendly and helpful.
