The Bata Shoe Musuem, the private collection of a woman named Sonja Bata, fortified with select pieces loaned by private collectors, is a history of human footwear. Not surprisingly, women's shoes are dominant. You might be astounded to know that the high-heeled pump a la Blahnik or Chu has historical precedents going back thousands of years. The same stand-on-your-toes and grin and bear it thing, for millenia.
No, I did not have to look up the name Blahnik.
Dr.Bob actually believed us when we said we'd be there for a noon visit. He was on time. We got there over the course of an hour, from 2 until well after 3.
Sorry about that, Dr. Bob. It was Sunday, and we were just not choreographed very well that day. The dinner the night before kind of kept us up past our bedtimes.
