> As of 2018, the museum's permanent collection includes over 13,000 shoes, and other footwear related items dating back 4,500 years; providing the museum with the largest collection of footwear in the world. Items in the museum's collection are either held in storage, or placed on display in its permanent exhibition. The museum also hosts and organizes a number of temporary and travelling exhibitions, and outreach programs.
When deciding they have the largest collection, I guess they missed the shoe collection at Northampton Museum. Though having escaped that town in my youth, I don't know why anyone would want to visit!
Just today I thought about a shoe with four feet on it that you stand on, and kinda have to push yourself forward with. Not even as a fashion statement but as a bit of functional silliness.
As it turns out, "shoe with four feet under it" is impossible to explain to search engines.
