Brilliant memories from my childhood visiting here, will take my daughter when she’s a little older as I could do without a junior Amelda

A very random exhibit of shoes, but must entertain some people. I’ve chatted with a few people who say they often come. So many ages of shoes. To me it seems so random, but thats also what caught my attention.

If you have an hour or two free one day (especially if its raining) take the kids to see the Shoe Museum, you won’t be disappointed

This is an interesting museum with a unique perspective. Some of the exhibits are fascinating, my particular favourite is the elephant shoe (yes really!). The history of shoe making is also very interesting as is the history of shoe fashion. However it could be so much better if it went to a bit more detail about both aspects. I find the lighting very disappoting in the History of Fashion area as it is very dark, which makes it difficult to read the information about the shoes. The museum often has good travelling exhibits, but again they could do a lot more with them, a recent display of RSC costumes was relegated to one corner of a large room, when it would have been better to spread them out more.

The shoe museum in Northampton provides a history of shoes in a town famous for its cobbling. There are a large collection of shoes though the ages, including some very scary looking shoes for bound feet. There are even some roman sandals as well as much more modern footware.
The gift shop sells a number of suitably shoe related items along with the standard postcards, erasers and pencils.
The exhibition is good for the serious shoe lover but is worth a few minutes of your time even if you only own two pairs of shoes yourself.
The Shoe Museum — does exactly what it says on the tin!

Well worth a visit — a couple of hours will do. The Museum is renowned for its Shoe collection –everything from the iconic Elton John’s boots to shoes from the Roman times. This is a great exhibit and one that kids will readily engae with. Don’t stop there and please do the rest of the Museum — some really good artworks. Go outside to eat — across the road the the Derngate Theatre or ask for directions to the Fishmarket. This is a new contemporary artspace with an organic café. Near to Northampton’s main shopping centre.

As Northamptons history is all about shoe making, it is not surprising they have a shoe museum,
There are so many shoes! I took my little boy and he loved Looking at the machines they used years ago to make shoes. I liked the fashion exhibition and was pleasantly horrified to see some of the shoes: o)
And its free!!!

Fot the weirdness of it, the girlyness of it, the fetishness of it, this gets a 5. (and they do touch on fetish in the exhibition).
There are other things in this museum but you don’t really notice.
The largest collection of boots and shoes in the world. Includes Elton John’s huge Doc Marten Boots from Pinball Wizard. Little Titch, Music hall artist, boots recently seen on QI.
Exhibits at the gallery include shoes for animals — from horses, dogs and even elephants!
Northampton was/​is a shoe making town.
Their Life and Sole (oh haha) galleries are the place for all dedicated followers of fashionoooer ark at me. burst into song there.
