Fancy shoes and basic ones, boots and sandals, they are all in the Raymond Moriyama building, located north of the University of Toronto campus. You can view more than 10,000 pairs in all. Celebrity shoes include Queen Victoria's ballroom slippers, Elvis's blue patent loafers and Karen Kain's ballet pointes.

I loved itby Yahoo | 2006-07-20 23:40:27 |

I loved this shoe museum. I have lived in Toronton all my life and had never been inside. I am glad I listened to my friends, Tim, Nathan and Will, and decided to check it out. What a fantastic place. I am most definetely more in touch with my feminine side now.
