A black girl tried out the glass slipper? And then a very old lady. Also, all women wanted to try the glass slipper; why be so insolent and waste the King's time if you are not the owner of it?
This part of the fairy tale even annoyed me as a child, but at least it had the "benefit" of being a cartoon.
In at least one written version of the story, the slipper does actually fit an Old Crone, who obviously isn't the girl from the Ball. The Prince does not end up marrying the Old Crone, and he does find the actual Girl.
shareThe glass slipper was actually enchanted, designed only to fit Ella's foot.
We write the story...

I understand your observation.
You may not be conscious of it.
Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.
The best one was, when she said " Can I try it on the other foot. I laughed real good.
shareSince the prince knew that the girl he was looking for was young and white, it was a waste of time to try the slipper on women who did not fit that basic description.
shareThe people sent to find the girl had orders to try every girl and the Prince never gave them any descriptions. He either wasn't there or was but didn't want to reveal himself like when the Grand Duke tried to leave the chateau without allowing Ella a chance.
shareI think it was just a gag for laughs.
sharelots of people hope to marry royalty, and all those ladies were hoping the slipper would fit them. in real life, of course, it would probably have fitted a number of them, but then in real life nobody would choose this odd way of finding a missing girl.

In this, trying the slipper on every maid in the kingdom makes zero sense. He doesn't know her name but Kit knows what Ella looks like. After only a five minute (or less) conversation when she's in rags, he recognizes her all dolled up at the ball. He would certainly recognize her again. So why go around with the shoe? Just go door to door demanding that all women present themselves to the king.
Do you mean every girl whose foot fits the slipper has been subjected to medical exams to check their uterus? What'd happen if Kit married a sterile girl? Henry VIII all over again?
