* In ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw,'' the school dance that [[ExtracurricularEnthusiast Amanda]] organized has problem after problem, largely due to [[TheJinx Milo]]'s presence. When the electricity goes out he quickly fixes everything before going to the circuit breaker ([[CrazyPrepared naturally]], he was carrying night-vision goggles). In the process he loses a shoe. When Amanda sees everything fixed she finds the shoe and goes looking for whomever is missing one, calling him "her hero."

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': in the Knight of the Laughing Tree tale, the knight mysteriously disappears as the king declares him his enemy and sends the Dragon Prince to find him.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' included a "Glass Slippers" magic card in Leon Wilson's fairy tale themed deck that work in tandem with his "Cinderella" monster card. The Glass Slippers card can equip itself to an opponent's monster if Cinderella directly attacks the opponent, and said opposing monster loses 1000 attack points and can't attack Cinderella. Humorously, when Dark Magician Girl gets equipped with Glass Slippers, she thinks they look nice.
* In ''Anime/SailorMoon'', episode 101 of the original anime focuses on Usagi wanting glass slippers from Mamoru for her birthday, seeing as how they ''are'' a princess and prince. Unfortunately, Kaolinite infuses one of the slippers with a daimon pod for the exact purpose of targeting Usagi's pure heart. Kaolinite later uses the other slipper by infusing it with a serum that grants her the same powers as the daimon.

* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''VideoGame/{{Cinders}}'', where Cinders carelessly discards her shoes when leaving the ball. The Prince's forces come to her house because she was recognized, and one character specifically mentions that you couldn't possibly identify a woman based on her shoes because too many other women would have the same size foot.

A conspicuous possession, often a piece of clothing, jewelry, or other personal effect, which becomes significant when its owner disappears and only the object is left behind. It is a type of ChekhovsGun, and may be a MementoMacGuffin. The object is often found on the ground, and if it is something the character would not have left behind on purpose this implies the character was abducted or worse. It may give a clue to the direction or path to find the person such as a TrailOfBreadCrumbs. If the person drowned, it can be a DeadHatShot. One form may also be EmptyPilesOfClothing.
