Editing Slipper (section)

==In popular culture==
The fictional character [[Cinderella]] is said to have worn glass slippers; in modern parlance, they would probably be called glass [[high heels]]. This motif was introduced in [[Charles Perrault]]'s 1697 version of the [[fairy tale]], "Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufle de verre" ("Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper"). For some years it was debated that this detail was a mistranslation and that the slippers in the story were instead made of fur (French: ''vair''), but this interpretation has since been discredited by folklorists.<ref>Tatar, Maria.
