The idea of opening a shoe museum in Marikina City, the Shoe Capital of the Philippines, was conceived in 1998 by then Mayor Bayani Fernando. Located at J. P. Rizal Street, it opened in 2001 and was initially called the Footwear Museum of Marikina. Among the Shoe Museum’s collection are former First Lady Imelda Marcos’ footwear.—Schatzi Quodala, Inquirer Research
