Towards the end of the first episode, the main female protagonist is wearing lace-up heeled oxfords. One of the villains is holding her by knife point and she winds up throwing herself and her captor overboard.
She hangs on the railing while the villain hangs on to her right foot. To escape she kicks her shoe off and exposes her barefoot. You don't see much of her after that as the next scene with her, she's already changed into new clothes. |

Hmm, spectators (opposite of saddle shoes)

I've been trying to get this pics uploaded for some time. Before I do here is what background information I have (Note this is ALL the information I still have, the book was taken apart long ago so asking me for any other bits (like a scan of the cover) will not be able to be met)
My copy of this book was in Japanese. However thanks to some information I got from someone I know that the author/illustrator is in fact Bulgarian (assuming it's the same one they found) name Venelin Valkanov (that's why I was asking them, with that name I thought the author might be Russian)
As far as I can tell, the subject of the book is about a little bear who, believing himself not attractive borrows things from his friends to make himself look "better". It's sort of similar to Aesop's fable of the Crow and the Peacocks.
The information page (which I am including on the off chance anyone here reads Japanese and can eke more information out than I did) says the copyright is 1988.

| Thread: Shoe Removal Wish List |
|
|
I'm not really sure this is an example of a removal WISH (I would like it if it happens, but I don't feel a need to demand it does. But I have a feeling that Jeff "Swampy" Marsh is setting us up for a future shoe loss/removal in Milo Murphy's Law by Melissa (or I suppose, by Milo's sister)
Besides the fact that the nature of the way the show works means it seems likely (given that they are the best friends and companions of someone who's whole thing is that he is a magnet for every kind of disaster imaginable; it seems inevitable that they are going to suffer some clothing loss/damage sooner or later. There is the fact that it often seems as if we are being literally "teased". That is we are presented with situations where we SHOULD see a loss/ removal, and then we don't to wit
Ep3b "The Note" We see melissa trying to free her foot that is trapped in a conveyor belt when he shoelace is caught and then in the next shot we see her she is climbing down the latter after freeing herself (with both sneakers on)
Ep8a The substitute" When Melissia gets up on the desk to avoid the giant sentient blob monster that is eating everything, one of her feet is dangling off the front of the desk almost as if they originally planned to do a scene where the blob grabs Melissa by her foot and she has to pull her foot out of her sneaker to escape (somewhat tellingly, there is no further shots of Melissa's bottom half after this in the episode, so they could have cut such a scene for time without it being obvious.)
There have also been at least two times where Melissa HAS had to change her shoes (along with the rest of her clothes) due to something Milo did having cause her normal ones to get soaked/covered with gunk)
There has actually ALREADY been a shoe loss in this series (I't just it was Milo)
Add on the fact that Marsh tends to sprinkle in a few shoe losses removals in his series (I think there is at least one for every major female character (and most of the male) in Phineas and Ferb. So I'd say we are looking at one eventually.

Precisely
Actually, sort of a pity that they went with one of the conventional versions. While the original story by E.T.A. Hoffman has Clara pass out after hitting the Mouse King (with the Nutcracker showing up later to do his whole transform into a prince and take Clara to the candy kingdom" routine, the ballet goes straight from one to the other (as do many simplified versions based on the ballet story more than the original), So there are several versions in which Clara never bothers to pick her slipper back up again (or the Nutcracker price does not bother to retrieve it) and she remains in one slipper for the rest of the story. I have seen quite a few book versions like that (including one where Clara seems WAY to happy to be walking around half barefoot, given she is walking over cold snow and hard pebble roads.)

I've never been 100% sure, but at the beginning of another episode, it looked like Lori banged her shoe on a table to get the attention of the rest of the Loud kids (at least, she banged something white)
And of course there is the episode where she had her shoes off because she was using Lincon as a footstool while she was doing her toenails.
