These boots are made for walking

From a November 23, 2013 interview with Kelly Conway, the new Curator of American Glass at CMoG, posted in the CMoG November Blog:

And finally, last question. Do you have a favorite object in the collection?
I do, and I was hoping you would ask me that! My favorite object in the collection-and I normally wouldn’t ever choose, but I think it’s too obvious a choice not to say-are the Glass Slippers by Frederick Carder. I have a great affinity for shoes; my close friends know this about me!
You’re the curator – would you try them on? I’ve joked that maybe I should try them on, but they look like they’re a little small for me. They’re probably very heavy to wear, and I could imagine that it’s not that comfortable to stand on a glass heel. Like some shoes I own, I simply enjoy looking at them as works of art!
