I particularly like the one that combines shoe loss with mismatched footwear.
This person on Youtube does a lot of videos on testing pantyhose featuring LOTS of shoe dangles and removals. The link is to my favorite, but there are a lot of other ones in her folder (make sure you go into Videos, the pre set list only has a few of them.)

I really like those instance of girl losing shoe in another dimension which she will never be able to get it back.
Reminds me of a scene from the nightmare on elm street.
However, it is also sad that they lost their right shoe. I'd prefer to see some left shoe loss... |
It might be especially interesting if, when we return to that dimension at some date, we find out that the lost shoe has become an object of veneration in that dimension due to the things that person did (in much the same way that some churches have shoes that supposedly belonged to various saints.) For example, in Amphibia, I have a suspicion that both of Anne's lost right sneakers (the one she lost originally, and the one she lost in the quicksand when she came back) would have gone into museums as national treasures (quicksand does dry out eventually, so digging that one up later would be entirely possible. and the first one is presumably either in the ruins of Toad Tower or still in Grimes possession.)
Going back to an older cartoon, Penny's sneaker in Chalkzone (that she lost in the episode "Taffy") could be venerated by that Chalk World tribe that venerates objects from the real world that fall in.

It was actually Episode 13 for Kuromajo-san ga Tooru!!, near the end of the episode.
Choco lost her right high heel in the Demon World and is left in one high heel and a red thigh high sock. While being transported back, you can also see her in one high heel and either a white stocking or thigh high sock, not sure which one to be exact.
|
It's both, she swaps from her wedding dress (which has white stockings) to her witch outfit (which has red) mid transport.

The answer to that is that this is a SCREEN TEST photo, from when they were working out exactly how they wanted the characters to look. She's wearing two different versions of the ruby slippers because the studio was trying to work out which would look better on screen (in the end, they went with neither of these versions, in favor of the sequined ones we know.) That's also probably why she has on black stockings instead of her normal blue bobby socks, they wanted better contrast for the shoes.
Other test photos exist for Garlands various proposed hair colors and styles (they were toying with making her blond originally) and costume arrangements. But as none of those related to shoes, I didn't bother to post them.
The only other shoe related thing concerned her Kansas shoes (the ones she has on BEFORE getting to oz). Originally they were going to go for shiny black Mary Jane style shoes, the brown Oxford like ones were a pretty late change, probably because the Mary Janes looked to "fancy" for the day to day shoes of a poor Kansas girl (given that they also appeared to be tap shoes, with decent heels, another consideration might have been the scene where Garland walks on the edge of the animal pen. Doing that in substantial heels might have proved too difficult.)

While I haven't been able to find any single shoe Judy Garland pics. I DID manage to find one of the famous "mismatched footwear" screen test picture.
This is also famous as the only proof of the lost "bugle bead" pair of Ruby Slippers (left foot), which STILL hasn't been found again.

Found another single shoe Jane stage play (loss occurs off stage, but you can see he stocking foot around the 47 minute mark, and both her feet and the "took my boot" line are around 52 minutes.)

On a related note, as a byproduct of all of my Oz searches, Pinterest has been leading me to a lot of Judy Garland pins, so I thought this could be an opportunity to check on something. According to many biographical sources, Judy had a habit of taking off her right shoe while reading, because she thought it improved her concentration. So I was looking to see if anyone had ever caught a photo of this happening. So far, so luck, I DID find one pin of her reading, but she's wearing a long skirt that covers her right leg (and the other foot clearly has a shoe on it.) I THOUGHT I had one from her show, but she appears to have BOTH shoes off in that (there was also one from The Clock (which has a single shoe moment in the actual movie) but she has removed her other shoe as well in that.)

Unstable in more ways than one; cowboy boots tend to have pretty substantial heels, so walking with only one for an extended time must be awkward/uncomfortable. While I LIKE the single heel gait and find it attractive, I am well aware that it is not a natural or comfortable gait, and that, in most real world situations, it is not a gait that most women are going to voluntarily maintain for any extended period of time if they can help it (i.e. if a woman in the real world either breaks or loses one of her high heels, she is probably going to remove/ditch the other one fairly quickly.)

I always assumed it was more along the lines of the canyon being too deep for her to retrieve it. On the other hand, she doesn't seem to be all that ticked off about losing it, so maybe you are right.

Don't know, as I have never READ any of the original books or seen any of the original films.
I will note that, based on such COVERS of the books as I have seen, it is a lot less likely since the story is taking place a LOT later in time (Tarzan wasn't published until 1912) and Jane is dressed in a much more jungle appropriate manner, which includes thigh high brown pull on boots (the kind it takes some effort to pull off). Basically, in the book world Jane is dressed more or less like Clayton (who does not exist in the books) is dressed. |
Pity, based on the stage show video it would have made sense that it would be one of the things he'd do to identify that she was like him and that disney film sort of parodied that. |
Possibly, though since Tarzan will have never seen shoes or boots before, it really only works if Jane has ALREADY lost it/them (like in the movie) or they more or less slip off of their own accord (like in the clip). WITH calf high boots (possibly with puttees on top- of them) Tarzan would presumably have NO idea that those WEREN'T just the shape of her legs and feet, and assume she WASN'T the same sort of creature as him.
It's a bit like how in Fiji, there is a saying "Tough as the boots of Mr. Baker", which (according to legend) cone from the days when the Fijians (who were cannibals at the time), cooked and ate a missionary. Never having seen boots before, they thought they were part of his feet, and left them on when they cooked him, later complaining that, no matter HOW long they boiled them, his "feet" wouldn't get tender!
I will also point out that, in the old time movies, Jane isn't barefoot even when she is in "jungle girl" mode (i.e. Tarzan's wife). She wears slippers (most likely because they didn't want their starlets to ruing their soft soles and pedicures.)

Well, it doesn't count as a LOSS, but she has removed her flat already in one episode (when she was cleaning Brian's poop off it) and has HAD it removed once before that (during the servant song when she gets the mansion, when one of the servants starts to give her a foot massage).

I am not familiar with this painting, can you give me a hint on how to find it online? |
At the moment, I can't, for the simple reason that I don't know what it's called either! But I see it fairly often in the form of things like china figurines and needlepoints, so the next time I see one, I can let you know.

Remembered I left out a BIG one, the fact that, traditionally, walking with one shoe on and one shoe off is EXTREMELY bad luck. In fact, more bad luck than breaking a mirror (that gets you seven years of bad luck, but walking with one shoe on and one off is supposed to get you a year of bad luck PER STEP).
