Since 1926 Miller Shoes has been keeping Hamilton and the surrounding region comfortable. As much as we like to think of ourselves as a major local attraction, we know that there is more to Hamilton than just being the shoe capital of Canada. In our previous blog we talked about Hamilton’s outdoor attractions. As the weather changes and temperatures drop Hamilton remains just as exciting.
The world class Art Gallery of Hamilton is conveniently located downtown, about a 10 minute walk from our store. So while visiting the AGH come on over and browse our fall collection.
Founded in 1914 the AGH is the oldest and largest art museum in the region,with a permanent collection recognized as one of the finest in Canada, Boasting more than 10,000 works featuring important Canadian historical works as well as international and contemporary art.
The famous Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is an aviation museum that features a collection of over 40 Canadian military aircraft, many of which are flown regularly. The collection features the Avro Lancaster and one of only two airworthy Lancasters left in the world. The Museum also features aircraft rides, interactive displays, virtual reality displays, special events as well as education programs. And if you want to take off and soar, try a pair from of our Mephisto collection.
Hamilton is also home to the Steam and Technology Museum, Children’s Museum, and Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
The Hamilton restaurant scene is as vibrant as any in Canada. Foodies from all around the GTA make the drive (or Go Train) to downtown Hamilton to sample the cuisine from around the world as well traditional classics. From James Street North, King William and Locke Streets, Miller Shoes is right in the middle. And if you are planning on dining out in one of our fine dining establishments, you may as well go in style wearing a pair of gorgeous Django & Juliette boots or casual shoes.
So yes come for the shoes, but stay for the fabulous museums and dining. Please don’t forget Hamilton’s shiny new area the TD Coliseum, and if you are lucky enough to purchase Garth Brooks tickets, you may as well go the extra distance and go in style with a pair of mens Pikolinos boots.
