Everything you need to know about shoes

The first time I went to Florence, come to think about it every time I’ve been to Florence, it has been with a lovely friend of mine who is a little bit mad about shoes. I on the other hand am a bit clueless, although I have learnt some things just by spending time with her! She had done some research and suggested we visit Museo Salvatore Ferragamo. It is a free museum in the basement of the Ferragamo shoe shop in the centre of Florence. It is a must visit if you are in the area. The first section is about the history of Salvatore Ferragamo and his love of design, equalibrium and craftmenship. There are beautiful examples of his shoes, design drawings, and lots of wooden lasts of famous feet. Through this section there is then an changing exhibition which will have some broad link to design, balance, shoes or something else related.
