Reading the article Walking as Art – Footwear, I was introduced to this amazing Bata Shoe Museum, in Toronto, founded in 1995 by Sonja Bata. Shoes hold the key to human identity, wrote Sonja Bata. All those photos, except the tricycle's photo, were found through this article. So I hope you enjoy this post.
