If you like shoes, you'll love this museum devoted entirely to footwear - shoes from all cultures and all parts of the world, ancient times to the present. 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.
