Montreal - Nickels

We got into Montreal around midnight and drove around McGill
University. Nickels had some late night dining.

Pacific Heritage Mall

I was so excited being inside a Chinese mall that I forgot to take
pictures. It started to pour as we left Toronto for Montreal.

Royal Ontario Museum

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go inside.

Other Shoe Museum Patrons

Not all women!

Garry Greenwood Leather Boot

3000 Year Old Egyptian Shoes

Made of palm leaves and grass. Looks like a Bottega weave!

1700s Italian Silk Shoes

Very Rare Old Platform Shoes

Perfect Chanel Flats

Mikhail Baryshnikov Ballet Shoes

Ginger Spice Shoes

Giant Cowboy Boot

Whoa.

Plastic Shoes

Polly Pocket (top) and Barbie and Ken shoes (bottom).

Killer Shoes

Used for old boyfriends and bad investment bankers.

Original use was for crushing chestnuts. The crushed chestnut shells
would release oils that soften leather.

Tall Platform Shoes

High Heels

High heels were worn by both men and women.
