+247 If you think about it, Cinderella having a glass slipper was kind of a dumb idea. I mean if they had broke her foot would have been torn to shreds. amirite?

In the original story, it was fur slippers. And I guess glass was one of the most "elegant" things storytellers could think of, or something.

It was actually a mistranslation. At the time it was written, the French words for "fur" and "glass" were very similar.
