Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
I gave these shoes to my five year old and she just was ecstatic. They are a little too big for her, but, that's fine. She'll quickly grow into them. They look like they must be very comfortable, with a nice thick sole. Also, I love that they are flats, not heels.

Comments about Ruby Slippers:
Gave this to my OZ nut mother. They are genuine wizard of oz it says so in the inside. I hoped they would look good with her collection. But the liner of the shoe dont fit in them so on a shelf may not be the best place for theese. The fact that they are OZ is what makes em cool. Probably a good shoe. She won't wear them so i don't know how they work as actual shoes

Adorable!

Comments about Ruby Slippers:
The slippers were purchased as part of a 40th birthday celebration for my daughter who loved "The Wizard of Oz" as a child. Since they were not purchased to be worn, I bought the smallest size available. They are truly adorable, and any little girl would love to own a pair!

Comments about Ruby Slippers:
I bought these slippers for my 2 year old granddaughter, Ruby. She LOVED them!!! and called them her ballet slippers ... wore them all day.
I had measured the sole of a pair of shoes that fit her and used that to order the size (the catalogue gives slipper sizes in inches, on the net the sizes are just S,M, L etc). The slippers that arrived were a full 2 inches longer and were just huge on her little feet.
She still loved them so much that I will send off for another pair two sizes smaller!

Misleading
By Goldfish
from pa
Comments about Ruby Slippers:
I bought these for my sister in law for Christmas and a graduation present. Was disappointed when I recieved them because nothing on the website/box, etc. explained that they were for kids!; even sizes seemed misleading! The only good thing is is because she is a collector and a Wizard of Oz fan that she had a spot on her bookcase to display, but this was not my original intention.

Comments about Ruby Slippers:
Listed sizes were not consistent with actual little girls sizes. We guessed large after looking on the web for inches vs. shoe sizes.
