The relevance of this is to be found a while later in L0pe de Vega’s La Dorotea. Published in 1632, 65 years before Perrault, it recreates the author’s passionate and disastrous fling with actress Elena Osorio in the early 1580s and has the heroine worrying of having to trade in her amber slippers for crudely bound sandals (“Si don Bela quiere, tú verás estos pies que celebrabas trocar las zapatillas de ámbar en groseras sandalias de cordeles”). The standard explanation for Cinderella's famous footwear is that it is the result of a mistranslation, someone having mistaken pantoufle de vair, fur slipper, for pantoufle de verre, glass slipper, when making an English version of Charles Perrault's Histoires ou contes du temps passé avec des moralités (1697). (The title of Perrault's collection — in English, Stories or Tales of Olden Times with Morals— also is known as Tales of My Mother Goose, after a line that appears on the frontispiece of the original, Contes de ma mère l'oye.) This came up in conversation a few days ago, so I looked into it a bit. And alas, though mistranslation is not the culprit, it seems pretty clear to me that the slippers must originally have been fur, and turned into glass through a misunderstanding. If he meant "vair" "fur" he must either have been a bad speller (very unlikely) or there must have been an eighteenth century orthographic variant for "vair".( Possible but not likely.) Anyway nobody mistranslated "vair" as "glass". It's Perrault himself who writes "verre". It should also be taken into account that in the oldest Chinese version of the story, it was a "golden" slipper. See If you need something easy to slip on, you may love slide slippers or scuff slippers. Many slipper styles are designed to keep your toes and feet warm, but if you need even more coverage, a pair of slipper booties may be the right choice for you. All our slippers are designed to provide the maximum level of warmth and comfort, and we use materials to ensure the slippers maintain long-lasting quality.
sa maraine ne fit que la toucher avec sa baguette, et en même tems ses habits furent changez en des habits de drap d' or et d' argent, tout chamarrez de pierreries ; elle luy donna ensuite une paire de pantoufles de verre, les plus jolies du monde.
Top-Notch Quality: Crafted by Dunlop, a name you can trust. These novelty slippers aren't just about looks; they're built to last, ensuring you get value for your money. The principal difficulty with the standard explanation is that pantoufle de verre appears in Perrault's original text, so this is definitely not a question of mistranslation. Nor does it seem to be a case of mishearing, with Perrault writing verre for vair when transcribing an oral account, since vair, a medieval word, was no longer used in his time. ( Vair, variegated fur, from the Latin varius, varied, also is a root of miniver, originally menu vair, small vair, which referred initially to the fur — perhaps squirrel — used as trim on medieval robes and later was applied to the prized ermine, or winter weasel fur, on the ceremonial robes of peers.) Golden suggests both "expensiveness" and "light-reflection". So both "vair" ( expensive ermine-like fur) and "verre" ( glitter) fit the poetic core of this fairy-tale, of which there exists an unending list of variants. Some even Native American.

Amber slippers were still available in Regency England, and are evoked in contemporary advertising for Miss Natasha Perfume (“this princess of perfumes makes her way on Amber slippers and Lily négligés. A warm and slow burning temptress that stands on her own”).
