She lost her shoes in one episode; it was the one when they went on the cruise. She was lounging on a collapsable beach chair, which then closed on her and knocked her sandals off. She isn't seen with them on throughout the rest of the episode. |
True. Sorry about that, my mind was on her boots and I forgot the sandals (interstingly, you notice her sandals actually are the size of her feet, since you have to see her toes through them), I also imagine there may eventaully be an episode where she removes one or both of her boots becuse she needs to use her foot claws (say she's tied up and can't use her hands for some reason, or is trapped outside a plane in flight and needs all four limbs to hang on. Actually, given how much she uses her claws in self defense, it's a little odd she wears shoes in the first place, or at least, wears closed toe ones. (if you watch the show, you'll note shoe wearers are in the minority in Petropolis (though admittedly, there are more female shoe weariers than males there, so the data may be skewed)). Yes they give her the rocket jets, but she has used those ONCE so far.
omega, you actually bring up an interesting idea with regards to Hartman, vis a vis the fact that there could be an interesting situation in The Fairly Oddparents vis a vie Trixie Tang and Timmy turnder. Trixie already had a one shoe scene (In Just the two of us, when she was sitting on the pile of shoes in the mall) but not with her boots, and more importantly not when Timmy was actually present. This might be significant, since Timmy mentions in one episode (Dear Diary) that feet creep him out. It might be interesting to see which would be stonger, his love of Trixie or his hatred of feet. I even though of a clever way for this to happen in a special. For some reason it is neccecary to get a hold of Anti-Cosmo so Timmy (or more likey someone helping Timmy, since this plant would require someone with a lot more knowledge and intellegence than Timmy actually has) makes the following three wishes. 1. that everyone in Dimmsdale suddeny decideds to go on a "fun walk" 2 that everyone's left shoe dissapears and 3. that no one notices this second thing (if you want to know how that would bring Anti-Cosmo out of hiding, Anit faries are attracted by bad luck and acorrding to most tables of superstions walking with one shoe off and one shoe on is pretty close to the most unlucky thing you can do, it even beats breaking a mirror (a mirror is 7 years bad luck, walking around in one shoe is one year of bad luck per step you take, plus one beating (if you are a child) or the death of one close family member (if you are an adult)) Since most of the specials have Trixie getting far closer to timmy than she ever did in the actual TV show, she could then rush up to hug him when the plan works and thus the confilict begins.

Actually, she DID near the end of "The Elle of my Dreams Syndrome" (I had completely forgotten that one) (18:41) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWTMHTGF3qQ

With regards to Miss Martian, however nice it would be, I'd say it's actually rather unlikey she will ever lose a one of her boots, for several reasons. First, i seem to recall a bit in one of the early episodes where she said that her clothes are basically a sort of projection (which is why they can change when she changes). When she changes clothes, as far as I can tell she basically just wills them to change. So her losing one of her shoes may very well be impossible as they don't really exist as seperate entities. I suppose she could change her clothes to make it look like she was missing a shoe, but I cannot think of a lot of circumstances where that would happen (In fact, I can think of only one, being caught in some sort of disaster that no one could get out of without being hurt, and making herself look "beat up" to cover the fact that she, as a superhero, is uninjured). Even if it did happen, statistically the odds of her losting one of her blue boots is pretty low, as she doesn't actually wear them all that often. Young Justice is a product of the modern cartoon tradtion, and they really are trying to eliminate the "combat stiletto" trope (even Black Canary wears flat soled boots in this version). They even sort of lampshaded the fact they were doing this in one episode, in the Haloween one, Zatara (or is it Zatanna, I always get confused which is the guy and which is the girl) cast a spell to make her boots flat soled, so she can run better (I wonder if, come the next season, we'll discover she's made that change permanent). So if you noticed, MM doesn't wear her "dress costume" most of the time. around the cave, she's usually in her school clothes. And the moment they go out on a mission, she tends to switch to her "stealth" costume, which also features flat boots. So it's not that likey, in my opinion

The episode is probably called simply "Pigs!" At least, that's what the title was of the book it was based on was. As for why they did not notice, I'd say the huge herd of pigs surrounding her was a bit more noticiable.
There are two more for Munsch. The title character of Anglea's airplian is missing her right sneaker (along with the bottom half of her right sock, after she crashes the plane. There was also one (I forget the title) where a little gril has one of her red hight tops fall off after she tries to jump off the rerfridgerator.

I've never actually given the subject much thought, I tend to be content with what I find (okay I'm never content, but my desires are rather nebulous)
About the only clear candidate I think I ever came up with was Shittenou Uzuki, from the anime Happy Lesson, mostly because I always loved her "teacher" shoes (without going into too much detail, the show is about 5 teachers at a Japanese high school who, deciding that, Chitose one of their students (who is an orphan and lives alone) needs guidance, all decide to move in with him and be his mothers) So each one has both a "home" costume and a "teacher" costume (actually since Uzuki is a cosplayer, she has literally hundreds of costumes)) to me, it was always very cool that they had turned up tops that looked EXACTLY like shirt collars. See below (sorry it's not great, but there are suprsingly few cover pictures of the group that show Uzuki's feet (still fewer that show them in her teacher clothes) Uzuki is the blond girl in the orange clothes being hoisted by the girl with the short blue hair
Unfortunately, there were no shoe losses in the whole of the series (thoguh the first episode does feature a quick shot of all of the mothers shoes lined up in the shoe hall (Uzuki's are notable for three things here 1. this is the only closeup we get of them, where you can see the varios layers of them 2. they are the only pair that is sprawled over on thier sides, a not to Uzuki's immaturity (part of the series joke is that, despite the fact she is one of his teacher and "mothers" Uzuki is actually a year or two younger than Chitose) and 3. they screwed up the coloring in the scene making them middle brown all over (the bottoms are supposed to be dark brown on the body, and light brown on the turnover as in the picture) one scene near the end of the series where Uzuki has one of her cosply shoes chewed up by a dog (waist up, I'm afraid, so no way to tell if she was putting them on) and one brief scene of Udzuki her teacher shoes removed (so she can lay on her sleeping bag) in one of the OAV's. However, while I never wrote it, I did have a fun idea for a shoe loss scene. Basically it involved the science teacher (another one of Chitose mother's) blowing up the science lab ( she has done this at least a dozen times in the series, she is basically a mad scientist (and quite possibly an alien) and in the process, also blowing up the art room (Uzuki is the Art teacher) when Chitose and the other mothers go to investigate the damage, they find one of Uzuki's teacher shoes in the rubble, shredded and burned to bits, and assume she was killed in the explosion, however you then hear an "ahem" (or the Japanese equivalent) and see a shot of Uzuki on the other side of the room, missing a shoe (of course) but otherwise unharmed. It turns out the reason is that she had taken her shoe off and put it on the desk for the students to draw (trying to draw a shoe was a fairly common art lesson in my high school) and was on the other side of the room when the blast occured.

I meant anyone who watched the show. For any show there will be hundreds of fans who will analyze every last tiny detail, so no fragment is considered too trivial for examination.

Code Geass there are one (or possibly two) shoe loss scenes in this cartton both in episode 1 of season 2. The better (and only defitive one) occurs at around 13:54, where an unditentified woman's feet in one pump are seen crowding onto an elevator (in context a lot of people think the feet belong to Kallen, who is dressed up as a cocktail bunny at the time and is wearing identical pumps. However as it was pointed out to me, Kallen is wearing pantyhose with her costume, and the single shod woman is bare legged). It is also slighty possible that the girl in the wreckage at 5:55 is missing a shoe though that is iffy (one of her feet is behind the foreground, and it's sort of an issue of whether you should be able to see the top of her other shoe over the edge)
http://www.animecrazy.net/code-geass-r2-episode-1/
To my knowledge, those are the only ones in the series (though as has been pointed out on TV tropes. there is at least one barefoot shot for pretty much every lead female character). However there are 2 pretty decent boot removal scenes for C2, one per season (and hence 1 per pair of her primary boots in the show) neither includes a good shot of her feet but the first one (episode 4 I think) does show her empty boots being thrown on the floor demonstrating just how floppy they are (i.e. that they are probably cloth, not leather).

I managed to find an artist on deviantart. Who uploaded 2 pics of Ahsoka without a boot. I actually watched an episode of The Clone Wars where Ahsoka was crawling away from Grevious, I was hoping that Grevious would use one of his many hands to grab her boot forcing her to remove it to escape, who knows maybe this happened in the original script, I'm thinking of writing a fanfic where this does happen but I have no idea what to call it, any suggestions for a title? I feel like I've seen a loss before like that were a female character has to abandon her shoe to get away from the bad guy (not the Wagya no Onarisama one).

Between the two this is my favourite one. I find it kind of funny how the first thing it took off was her boot.

Well, to be fair, most of the Jedi and Sith do not wear particualry losable footwear. Leaving aside the fair number who belong to races that go barefoot, the standard Jedi/sith shoe of choice seems to be high, soft, skintight boots.nn fact quite a few seem to wear not so much shoes per se as buskins/foot bindings (which are not so much removable as unravelable.) In fact the only Jedi I can think of who wears slippers is that one who oversees the clone school (the one that looks a bit like an older Asoka, but with white makeup around her eyes)
This is a lousy single shoe (to save you time, it's "P") but I have to post it as I LOVE the concept (though Gorey loses a bit without the drawings)
http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1081214/6-boys-6-girls-alcohol-amy_-gas
hlycrumb_tinies-arm
for the record, I know of two to three actual sihoe loss/single shoe picture in Goreys real ouvre. There's a girl in one ballet slipped somewhere near the middle of "The Lavender Dress" and a girl dangling one pump near the middle of "The Curious Sofa" there's also a girl on a bed with both her boots removed near the beginning of "The Other Statue" but the picure is so heavily shaded you won't see them unless you look carefully.

Drawn Together Near the beginning of the episode "Breakfast Cereal Killer" Two children are shown eating cereal on a tablecloth. A cartoon duck then show up asking for some cereal (parodying the Trix commercials) when the kids refuse the Duck beats the girl up then hits her over the head with a milk bottle, . When you see her in the next scene one of her mary janes has fallen off (00:16)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSceJR5ciBE&feature=related
actually there were quite a few shoe loss/removal scenes in this cartoon series. There was an epidsode where Toot kicked on of her pumps off on her way into the house (the one with the adopted baby, I think) and another where she lost one which dropped into a swimming pool of acid (in a retirement home) one of the other episodes had a bit near the begining as well where Foxxy had one boot off becuse ome of the other characters (Wooldor, I think) was licking her foot becuse he thought she was made of chocolate.

Sailor Venus in one shoe (for no discernable reason)
http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1078489/1girl-aino_minako-barefoot-bish
oujo_senshi_sailor_
crappy and innacruate as a lot of the fine points in this picture's are are (any heeled shoe with a sole flexible enough to bend like that would be unwearable, it would be like trying to put heels on a pair of actual ballet slippers) there is a odd fine point that, suprisingly the artist (probably through sheer dumb luck) got right. In my travels through the anime section of Bookoff I've flipped through a few of the "official" Sailor moon art books CLAMP put out, and oddly enough, Sailor Venus's "ankle straps" really DON'T actually attach to her shoes, they're just coodinated colored collars around her ankles

The Durarara episode with the boot loss was on again last night on Adult Swim. It's actually a bit odd; I keep thinking that if her boots were so loose that one of them would fall off when she was caught, they be too loose for her to walk in without slipping off her feet (especially if you consider that prior to this she was kidnapped and went through several other situations where she would have lost her boots if they had been that loose). I could sort of understand the other way (one of celty's shadow tendrils grabs her boot, but her inertia while falling causes her foot to pull out of it, so Celty has to send down another one). but as it stands, it's a little counter intuitive.
Speaking of Adult swim programs, Bleach has a few shoe loss scenes as well. There was an episode way back (in the #50's I think) with a bird that was the reincarnation of a little kid, and when you see his flashback of when he and his mother were killed, his mother has one of her slingbacks knocked off in the struggle. The small blond haired Vizard is also often shown in one flip flop, since she likes to knock people over the head with the other one. There is going to be an episode (it hasn't shown yet on AS) where Soifon is going to kick one of her slippers off to keep from her foot rotting (after it is hit by an Arrancars attack). Finally in the opening credits of the episodes currently being shown, in the "cheesecake" pictures of the Soul Reapers one of them (Nemu I think) is shown with one of her sandals off (her legs are out of shot, but you can see her empty sandal above her head) (1:12)

for reasons I'm not sure off there are also a suprising number of fanart pictures of Cirucci Sanderwicci taking her boots off (this seems to be the original most of the others are re-draws of this)
http://browse.deviantart.com/?q="Ci

In my own fanfic there is also a brief scene where Orihime has one of her school shoes stolen by Captain Komamura who fails to realize some of the effects of using a dog (or in actual fact, wolf) gegai in the real world

With regards to the Yugioh series's, beyond the shoe loss already mentioned earilier, it suddenly occurs to me that there is in fact another (though admittedly lesser) example that is interesting. I am thinking of Yubell, the bad guy(girl) monster from the second to last season of Yugioh GX. In the form she is show in on screen, as part of her rather asymmetrical look, she has one foot that is human (which is wearing a high heeled boot) and one foot that looks like a bird's talon. So she is tecnically only wearing one shoe all the time. Though is supposed some might argue it doesn't count when the character doesnt have two human feet.
This bring up an interesting subsection, that in some ways is the opposite of shoe loss, cases where the indivdual is wearing only one shoe ON PURPOSE. I'm not so much referring to those cases where the individual has removed one or both of thier shoes for some reason, but the small number of images where it is obvios that the outfit the character is wearing was designed with only one shoe. Usually this occurs with some of the "mismached" costumes. Danbooru has a suprising number of these

I'm also incuding the below as an honorary, sine while the girl does have two shoes, the extreme difference in heel height means that the costume would be as illogical as the one shoe ones above

In other anime lookovers, while I don't have time to track down all of them, there are a lot of one shoe pictures of Stocking (Of Panty Stocking and Garterbelt), probably because she does have to take her stockings off to turn them into swords. Though as far as I can tell, in the actualy anime, (what I have seen of it.) Stocking usually, if never, takes her shoes off; her stockings have no bottoms (so I supposes she is Techically Legwarmer) and she simply pulls them off over her sandals). And youd think even if she did have to take her shoe off, she'd remeber to put it back on. I'm incuding one link simply because it makes fun of the illogic of the situation.

-blue_eyes-boots-c
I also remebered another anime shoe loss scene. In one of the later episodes of Fooly Cooly, one of the sodiers has one of her boots blown off by a bomb. The scene in the anime is brief but I found this fanart of the character

Few more (I spent a hour goign through discs)
Negima episode 3 not a great one, but, in order to save her boyfrined the leading girl throws both of her shoes at a vampire
Comic party revoultion Episode 8 "The Princess of tennis" at around the 11:00 minute mark we see on of the girs with one sneaker on, as she dumps a huge mountain of tacks out of her other one (warning she has previosly stepped in said sneaker, so the bottom of her sock is bloody).
Stawberry marshmallow Three here near the end of episode 5 one of the girls cannot find her shoe in the shoe room. Episode 6 has one of the girls losing her sandal as she trips. and in episode 10 around the 6:00 mark, one of the girls takes her sneaker off and drops it in order to determine which way to go.
All Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku-Nuku- Episode 5 I think (It's written episode-OV, and I have no idea how episodes in this show are numbered) One of a pair of assasin ends up in one pink high heel (as a result of being blown up) for about the last 5 minutes of the episode (as they spend this whole time trying to chase Nuku, it's a miralce we don't have a tripping scene).
Alice in Wonderland In Paris- A very old very cheap peice of linked story animationv(retelling the childrens books of Anatole, Madeline and the gypises, Many moons etc.) . In the last minute of the cartoon, alice tries to get out of Anatole's house via the mousehole as the magic mushroom wears off, and one of her flats pops off as she squeezes through. She then goes floating through the air in one shoe over the ending credits (to make things odder, when you see the closeup of Madeline it is obvios that she has put the shoe alice lost on her own foot (which it is much too big for.)
