Well… Not exactly. In the original stories, one of the stepsisters chop the tip of her foot to make it enter in the glass slipper.
Sounds a good idea, until you die bleeding.

Ah, the origins of Cinderella. And let us not forget that the “glass” slipper, in the French original, was not “verre” (i.e., glass), but “vair” (i.e., squirrel fur). I know! A young girl, coming of age and having her very first fur slipper given to her by a prince. For more, see Bruno Bettelheim’s The Uses of Enchantment. #DisneyRuinsEverything

What a nightmare! I haven’t slept a bloody wink. There I was, dancing with this gorgeous chick and then, just as the town clock began to chime, she bolted out the door leaving me standing there, holding a LONG GLOVED GLASS ARM! Has anybody seen my slippers?

But not as bad as a glass jaw. [yes, that’s a genuine slang term]
