Agreed, Good work potk. I am particularly surprised about the Little Princess one; never occurred to me to look in that series. I guess from now on I'll have to keep my eye peeled whenever books from that series show up at Bookoff to see if any of them cover that episode (probably not, but since it looks like they sometimes did board books of selected episodes, I suppose it is theoretically possible.
Incidentally, if the site you found that has some of the rest of the Classic based Anime of that period (my computer is a little old to run that site smoothly, so I can't look myself. There are a couple other ones I remember Sorry I can't provide precise episodes or times but I saw most of these on Japanese VHS, so most either long since sold, broken, or somewhere I can't find them (I suspect some are buried behind the mountain of stuff Mom brought back from Grandma's house, so not retrievable until Mom gets around to sorting that stuff out and moving it (i.e. never))
Heidi, Girl of the Alps- There are two or three shoe losses/removals I remember in this series. In the very first episode there is a scene where the newly arrived Heidi takes off her boots (along with her socks and pretty much all of the rest of her clothing so she can run around the alpine meadows in her underwear. Much later in the series when Clara is in the Alps visiting Heidi and Grandfather is trying to help her learn to walk there is a scene where she and Heidi are rolling around in the grass and Clara is in her stockings (it's hard to noticed because Clara in this version normally wears white boots over her white stockings, so telling whether she has them on or off is really only defined by whether the animators have drawn the line that separates the two (or, for side shots the black buttons up the sides). Finally a few episodes later there is a bit where The rest of the Sessman family is also up in the Alps visiting. At one point, Frau Rottenmeir kicks a stone in pique and her shoe goes along with it,
Akage no An/Anne of Green Gables-In one of the early episodes when Anne has just gotten to Green Gables there is a scene of her taking off her boots as she gets ready for bed. The assembly mini kits from there series also include one model of Anne with her boots off looking out a window, and one of her in the middle of changing her boots for a pair of blue mary jane type shoes for a dance
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - near the end of this series, in the episode where Tom and Becky are lost in the caves, their is a brief shot of Becky sitting on a rock why tome goes to scout ahead, and for some reason she has removed her brown mary janes

Probably some sort of odd fasion choice. The Character backstory metions her betting everything (including herself) on a game (and losing, which is why she is now the main character's servant) but since it says everything at once, I can't imagine her betting her other boot previos to this and losing (also, barring some character in the show having a foot or shoe fetish (and there is, to my knowledge no evidence of that) who would make or accept a bet of a single boot (though it does give new meaining to the term "you bet your boots"))and why she wouldn't simply get a new pair. You can use your own imagination. As a perpetually flying character, she really doesn't need shoes after all; not in the sense us earthbound people do.
The best parallel I can give is from a farily short anime I've seen called Haunted Junction This show has no single shoe scenes in it's actual show though ironically 1. The end song for the show includes the line "the day was warm, but part of me still wanted to be unsure, so I took off just one of my shoes" and 2. There IS a one shoe anime MODEL related to the series, based on the Comic book version of the female lead Mutsuki, who is a lot younger and less creepy (the one in the anime has a near terminal case of a shouta complex (basically the female version of a Lolita complex))
But the point I was trying to make is this. In this anime, there is a character called Miss Toilet Hanako who is a rather curvaceous female ghost who haunts one of the boy's bathrooms in the school (no, I'm not going to try explain why, it's really complicated. Just leave it at nearly all ghosts in the show are based on actual Japanese ghost superstitions and there really IS such a thing in thier culture as toilet ghosts (several versions, in fact))
In appearance, Hanako appears as a teenage girl in a full ( if rather tight) school uniform (though not exactly the same one as the students of the school wear now, indicating it may be an older version)
except for the fact she is shoeless. She wears long black stockings (very sheer, Mandrake you'd probably like the depiction a lot g>) but no shoes (not even the white cloth "school" shoes a jot of Japanese students wear inside the school building.)
No one comments on why she doesn't (probably becuse her other "assets" are much more on thier mind) My personal guess is as follows. The character description notes for Hanako say she is the ghost of a schoolgirl who died "tragically". I usually interpret this to mean she comitted suicide. So maybe she jumped off the school roof, which would explain the shoelessness. In Japan, where manners come into everything, it is considered good form to take your shoes off before jumping off the edge of sometihng, so you don't get the edge dirty (I swear I'm not making this up). The ONE time in the whole series we see Hanako wearing shoes is when she is modeling during a costume contest (she has on shoes similar to "school shoes", except they appear to have small heels (school shoes are usually completely flat on the bottom).
In any case here's a link to another WOZ theater shoe loss clip (5:50 on)

Err yeah it does. One of the first posts I did when I technically started list was of a girl losing her sandal from The American Dragon. This list doesn't really have any rules apart from focusing on female feet and shoes.
