According to the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', Dorothy Gale wore 'old and worn' dark leather shoes. The illustrations showed the shoes to be sturdy, sensible, above the ankle walking shoes. When her house became an accidental murder weapon against the Wicked Witch of the East, Dorothy received the Witch's silver slippers due to the quick intervention of the Good Witch of the North. When she put the slippers on, she felt that they 'fitted her as well as if they had been made for her'.
