The Shoe Museum was conceived of in 1998, on the assumption that the town was the then Shoe Capital of the Philippines, by the then mayor, Bayani F. Fernando. The museum was then officially opened in 2001 and was known as the Footwear Museum of Marikina. Its purpose was to nurture the historical and cultural value of the Philippines’ shoe industry. The building where the museum is located is a historical landmark since it happened to be a detention cell for the Filipinos during the Filipino-American war. The museum has collections that feature the footwear of former first lady, Imelda Marcos, as well as shoes owned by presidents, vice presidents, mayors, senators and many other heads of the Philippine government. The museum holds shoes made in many different designs and with different materials, such as those made of snake skin, pigskin, sheepskin and much more. I definitely recommend a tour of this museum, while in Marikina city. Shoe Museum Address: J. P. Rizal St, Marikina, 1801 Metro Manila, Philippines
