In Disney's Cinderella (1950), what was the reason for Cinderella's shoe to fall off? After all, we all know that the shoe she wears fits her perfectly.

    @uhoh the slipper falling off as Cinderella runs from the ball at midnight is a fairly common plot anchor in most movie adaptations

    She loses her shoe because that's what the story requires. Also, there is a pattern: popsugar.co.uk/love/photo-gallery/43613656/image/43613636/…

    I'm not clear why the tag Disney was removed. That narrows it down to one of two heavily connected properties, the 1950 cartoon film or its live-action remake.

    @Valorum I've added "Disney's Cinderella (1950)" to the question body to clarify the movie being discussed. I've removed [disney] since it is being used as a meta tag in this case. As per the tag usage guidance, [disney] is only for questions about the company and is not to be used for questions about specific Disney movies.

Slippers are supposed to be relatively easy to slip on and off, even if they are a close fit.

Also, a glass slipper wouldn't be breathable, and dancing in a warm ballroom would result in fairly sweaty feet, which would facilitate it slipping off.
