If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, how did it fall off?

A woman’s sex appeal is magic
To get to the ball, Cinderella is endowed by her fairy godmother—i. e. by magic—with all the exterior trappings, allure, and clothing needed to catch the attentions of the prince. In Disney’s film the fairy godmother is a fat old babuschka, implying the wisdom of older women is what transforms Cinderella. But the magic that makes Cinderella into a beautiful princess is not wisdom or fairy dust. It’s a metaphor for something far more powerful and primal: the magic of a young woman reaching adulthood and the peak of her sexual attractiveness, at age 18-25.
As all men know, this attractiveness is godlike in its potency. In the Cinderella story, the magic is powerful enough to arrest the prince’s mind at first sight; powerful enough to make him search his entire realm to find her. In the real world, sexual attractiveness has brought down governments, as well as inspired most modern music. Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters (all significantly older than her) cannot achieve it despite all the artifice of poise and finely-tailored clothing (and, perhaps, three years in a Gender Studies degree.
A woman’s sex appeal is magic that runs out
This is the most important part of the story: the magic that transforms Cinderella is strictly limited by time. At midnight, Cinderella is returned to rags. In real life, around age 30, women’s physical attractiveness tanks. In both cases, the magic is gone, forever.
Women don’t realize the magic is running out until it’s too late
Cinderella is too swept up in the prince’s eyes and the glamour of the ball to notice the passing of time. Consequently she is caught out by the clock chiming midnight and has to flee for home, panicking at the loss of her glamours.
Women—especially when feminism dishonestly presents natural childbearing as practical or possible past forty—also don’t hear the clock chiming midnight. They, too, are too swept up in a different diversion: typically, riding the cock carousel through their most fertile years. Such women invariably are the ones bitterly complaining they are invisible to men and bitterly regretting their empty wombs when they’ve turned 40.
The glass slipper
When the magic fades, it spares one thing: Cinderella’s glass slippers. This seems to be a plot hole given the rules of magic in the story, but makes sense symbolically.

... Leave aside the sexual subtext of the prince’s servants going around his entire kingdom “trying on” every maiden to see if the slipper fits: the glass slipper is a potent symbols of fertility, good genes, good breeding.
A slipper made of glass is beautiful but delicate – one false step, one heavy footfall, and it shatters, irreplaceable. Is childhood any less delicate, any more replaceable? And the slippers also symbolize Cinderella’s youthful beauty: again, irreplaceable, gone with one false step, one descent into slutdom. The slippers are symbols of the prince and Cinderella’s children to be.
Single fathers should not remarry
Cinderella’s troubles only begin when her father, a widower, remarries. Versions of the story differ on whether it’s for love or so Cinderella has a mother figure, but either way it’s a mistake from Cinderella’s point of view. Statistically, single fathers are better at parenting than single mothers.

[Opinion Owner]

... Child abuse is most prevalent among the children of divorced women—and when it does occur, it’s typically at the hands of a partner not biologically related to the child.
Especially not to single mothers
Cinderella’s stepmother has two children of her own already, and she is never said to be a widow — implying she’s either an unmarried mother or divorced. The match does not end well for Cinderella or her father, who dies shortly after he marries the stepmother. It is well-understood in the manosphere that (a) you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife, and (b) a bad woman can easily shorten one’s life.
Cinderella’s stepsisters are vain, unfuckable bitches, ugly inside and out—and willing to abuse the traditionally feminine Cinderella. This is entirely consistent with the behaviour we see from the daughters of single mothers. Statistically they are not competent at holding down relationships and often have major mental issues,

[Opinion Owner]

... in no small part because their mothers never taught them any better.
Cinderella’s stepsisters are the daughters of the West at large: girls with no fathers physically, emotionally or spiritually present in their lives.
A wise prince understands he is the prize
Cinderella’s prince embodies traditional masculinity. Despite the pressure from his family and society at large to marry, the Prince refuses to settle for just any girl: no stepmothers or stepsisters for him. He settles only for a girl that he deems worthy, even if he has to turn over the whole kingdom looking for her.
Men in the West have, to their disgrace, reversed this situation. Women ride the cock carousel on the (in many cases justified) expectation that some thirsty sucker will be picking them up after they choose to get off the ride. Women are permitted to “wait” for their “soulmate”; men are permitted to settle.
The prince, then, embodies good advice for men: screw who you will on a casual basis,

[Opinion Owner]

... but be selective and be careful who you marry or live with. Because the wrong choice will fuck you up six ways to Sunday and ruin your whole kingdom.
On the other hand, if you do manage to identify a woman who’s at peak sexual attractiveness and has a good character, the prince has good counsel as well: move mountains to wife that shit up, because such a woman is rare if not extinct, maybe only one in the entire realm, and there’s a godawfully big pack of ugly stepsisters out there looking to snare you.
A good myth, like any good story, teaches us things about human nature without us realizing it. Myth, therefore, is worth seeking out; worth reading; worth contemplating. Never doubt that myth is under attack from vested interests, especially in the modern era. Consider the sterility and destructive themes of Frozen as compared to its parent fable, The Snow Queen.
Cinderella, fortunately, endures.

[Opinion Owner]

The story has come under revisionist attack over the years, but none of these pale, ungrateful versions have persisted in the public mind or overturned its lessons. Even as late as 2015, Hollywood still had sufficient courage to produce the story essentially unchanged from the 1950 version, with all of these messages intact.
The truthful moral of the story, for women, is a glass slipper: an understanding that what they have is incredibly seductive and beautiful—but fragile and only good for a limited time.

[Pac-Man]

In the original story the prince had the entire stairway smeared in sticky tar, so that the princess doesn't run away from him.

That's why her shoe remained.

The Disney version dropped all the rape stuff lol. Also in the original version the evil step sisters cut pieces of flesh from their feet to make the shoe fit.

[Afro-dite9]

Disney dropped all the good and dark stuff out of all their tales... which by the way aren't even really their's.

[Pac-Man]

@Afro-dite9 they are based on the brothers Grimm. Their fucking name is Grimm xD and they write children's tales. Someone go check their basement.

[Afro-dite9]

UMMM, I know wtf their name's are Hans Christensen is one writer of dark fairy tale's particularly The Little Mermaid and etc and the Grimm bro's wrote Cinderella and etc calm your ball's bruhhh and eat my ass. ttyl

[Pac-Man]

@Afro-dite9 that escalated quickly lol

[Afro-dite9]

Well lol you said go to my basement!!! daft

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks for mho lol

[falafelany1]

Daaaamn thank you to @Pac-Man for giving us the nasty truth! I love the Hans Christian Andersen stories like The Little Mermaid and all the rest. Good stuff.

[t-timee]

best question I have seen all night. you have a point

[SapouraK]

Thanks!!!

[meatballs21]

The real question is - if her dress and carriage and everything else changed back at midnight, why didn't the shoes?

[TheSolivagant]

One of the most mind-boggling questions out there.

[GoodLuckCharlie]

The story's about a fairy who turns pumpkins into carriages and mice into horses. And you're asking about shoe size? It's not a realistic film.

[SapouraK]

😂 lol

[super147]

It fell off when she was running out of the ball to get home before midnight, if I remember correctly. I'm sure that some girl or other has had a shoe fall off when she's tried to sprint in heels.

[curlyhairdontcare217]

Her foot was prob sweaty when you think about it 😂

[super147]

@curlyhairdontcare217 Yes, and she was probably a bit drunk. She's lucky she didn't trip over someone's bag and faceplant. The story would have been a lot less perfect if she had a broken nose and two missing teeth ^.^

[curlyhairdontcare217]

😂😂

[_HimigNgKalayaan_]

The prince probably jizzed on her shoe while they're dancing, that's the reason why she really freaked out. Stoopid prince

[Phoenix98]

Well she was running out of a ballroom after dancing so one she was running in heels and two her feet were probably sweaty.

[LaurenGrace]

by the fairy god mothers design.. it was suposed to do that

[chrisbigman]

Good question. Or maybe better yet, why didn't both of them fall off?

[llorando]

Cause her shoe was made of glass, and glass is kinda slippery when wet. Her shoe got wet cause her foot was sweaty from all the running she was doing.

[TheInvisibleMan]

Because logic. Dont firget the sisters who cut their feet just to fuck the hot guy in that same story.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Cause she wasn't running and they didn't have shoelaces back then

[Kolya]

The questions that keep me up at night

[Anonymous]

That's a really good question :o I never thought of it
This is gonna keep me up all night now lol

[Pac-Man]

In the original story the prince put sticky tar on the stairs to trap Cinderella. Hope you can sleep now xD

[deraz24]

She put too much lotion on her feet lol

[Decentguy]

because cinderella was a dumb ass

[rgb008]

She purposely left it behind

[alice55]

When you run you lost your shoes

[douride2]

Have you ever tried running in heels?

[Ragini]

True...😂😂😂😂

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Because of magic
