If anyone has ever seen the very terrible Legend of Chun Li movie - there's a semi boot loss scene with Chun Li (Kristen Kreuk).
Chun Li (man, just typing that hurts...) gets captured and tied up. The captors put her on a hook, and she starts swinging, slips her boot off and fights off her captors.
And just to further strengthen how terrible the movie is, she's instantly fully dressed in the very next instant.

Does she wear her trademark pantyhose in that movie?

No sadly, combat boots, black army fatigues and I think black socks.
Also to further defy logic, it amazes me how she was able to slip her foot out of her combat boot so easily.

Of course, it's a Cannon Films picture with that Red Riding Hood loss. They had an infamous reputation for cutting corners on the movies they make.
By the way, you mentioned some Danbooru links of possible shoe styles for Pokémon X and Y's female character. Can you forward them? I tried typing them in myself, but the site won't let me use more than two tags at once.

Great finds. I actually bought that red riding hood dvd after I heard about that scene on with1shoe.com. I've been meaning to upload it for awhile now, but I'm glad someone beat me to it. I love her thin little socks.

I've got a couple losses from that old anime Hamtaro; both involve Laura.
One is during a production of Cinderella, and the glass slipper prop goes missing before the play starts, and the Ham-Hams attempt to get it back before the curtain rises.
The other is from an episode entitled "Who Stole My Shoe?", in which a lot of the shoes of the students of the school where Laura goes are disappearing, and the Ham-Hams attempt to find out why.
I would have links, but the series is incredibly hard to find; despite being pretty popular at the time it came out. Of the 296 episodes, only 104 got dubbed into English, and only 9 got released on VHS and DVD. There is an archive project to get the series online (like the ones for Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Max Headroom); but a lot of the work done on it got set back when MegaUpload went under last year. If I find links to the episodes in question, I will post them.

Note to members, as I recall both of these are "people free" losses i.e. in neither case do the shoes vanish while people are supposed to be wearing them so no one-shoe scenese (the closest you get is in the Cinderella episode, where the teacher takes off one of his sandals to use as a substitute glass slipper, and even them I don'y think you see his foot.
But I agree about the hard to find thing. If I recall in order to see the non cinderella one (I found out about it after the show was no longer on TV) I had to buy a Japanese DVD, and then do the "old computer trick" to actually watch it (Japanese DVD's are region 2 as opposed to the US's region 1 so Japanese DVD's are not playable on American DVD player (Interstingly, Japanese VHS's ARE playable in the US, since They used the NTHSC system (as opposed to PAL) So to get around it, I took one of our old disposable computers and basically gave it multiple personality disorder; putting multiple seperate copies of the DVD playing program on it each set to a different region (computers have a little chip in them to "lock" the region code after 2-3 changes, so simply toggling back and forth doesn't work)

Thank you. It must have been longer than I thought since I saw the series.
I have another one. The Simpsons "Itchy and Scratchy Land"
Near the end of this episode, when discussing the violence of Itchy and Scratchy, Lisa throws her shoe at Bart and gets sent to her room without her shoe.
That bit always amused me when I was younger.

I'm not sure if it's a matter of "being sent to her room without it" as much as "forgetting to pick it up on her way"
There are two (or three) others in the Simpsons as well (forgive me for not knowing the episode names, its' been a while). There is a scene where Lisa is putting on her shoes in the one where Selma decides she want to have a baby (the old one where she gets her iguana, not the one where she adopts the Chinese infant).
The episode where Lovejoy/has a nervos breakdown/ Homer discovers he is Mr. Sparkle has a scene where Lisa kicks off her shoes after getting home from church
Finally there is a scene near the beginning of "The Last Tempatation of Krust" has a scene where Marge takes Bart and Lisa shopping at Goody New Shoes. However, you are going to have to look online/ get the DVD to see it, since that bit was cut out of the syndicated day to day version (to make the episode shorter for the higher amount of commecials they like to put in.
and finally an ebay item that showed up (alas, I already have this one)

There was another one from The Simpsons that I couldn't find the link to originally, but just so happened to find again right now:

You have to wait a week to see the current one, which doesn't really have much of a single shoe presence (there is a brief shot of Whiney's half shod feet when they are showing the shackles around the French Canadian lumberjack's ankles) but the previous three episodes they were in are fairly old, so they should all be acessible (and no, I don't remember the titles or seasons of those three; if you want to seach TV.com for plot syompses, it's the one where Lisa tries to tutor Cletus's kids, the one where Homer crashes the car into Cletus's house and learns to make moonshine and the first episode where Bart meets Mary)

BEST. SCENE. EVER.
I just love how overconfident she is for most of the episode and how that unexpected little revenge from him freaks her out. From heel goddess to foot cutie in a second... just wow.
Thank you!
