Shoes, Glorious Shoes!

A Shoe Museum.

I know, right? Some of you had to read that first line 3 times because it seemed too good to be true. But, I'm happy to report that just a short and cheap train ride from Milano, is a museum dedicated to footwear. Even better, entrance is free!

The magic happens in a little town called Vigevano, where every shop closes between 1:30 and 4:30pm,  there's a castle in the middle of the city, and there's a merry-go-round in the town square for no apparent reason other than for pure daily enjoyment.

The museum is small, but packs in a lot of different shoes, from those that are hundreds of years old, to more modern ones made in town; from the smallest shoe in the world, to a size 59 shoe! I'm no guide, so instead I'm just going to share some photos with you for your viewing pleasure!

An "Italy" boot, a shoe with a built in stocking, the smallest shoe, and a size 59 shoe.
Just general shoe-beauty.
And just general shoe-awesomeness.
