In fiction, some key pieces of clothing can only be worn by certain people. Shoes are a common choice, but other clothing will do. Thus if it fits someone, it can be used to ID them. Sometimes this can work in Real Life, but it's usually not enough evidence on its own. It might help if it's an accessory such as a dental plate or prosthesis that is custom-made to fit one specific individual's body. Note it only counts when it's wearing it, not using it, or even touching it. May overlap with Clothes Make the Superman (if the clothes bestow special abilities but will not work for just anyone), Suspect Is Hatless (if the clothing may not be that distinct). Compare Identification by Dental Records, Signature Item Clue and Glass Slipper. |

In "The Egyptian Cinderella", an adaptation of the Ancient Greek fairy tale of Rhodopis, a falcon snatches one of the rose-red slippers of Rhodopis and drops it into the lap of the Pharaoh, who orders the whole of Egypt searched for the woman who owns the slipper so he can marry her. | |

Subverted on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Will finds a last-minute date to a Halloween party in a kind waitress named Cindy, who just happened to dress as Cinderella. At midnight, she flees and drops her shoe and Will thinks he's been "touched by magic"... but then Cindy comes back to claim her shoe and gives Will her phone number. | |

Parodied in the Ranma ½ manga by a story arc titled "Cinderella's Favor" in which a guy has gathered girls to his private island and asks them to step on his head, so he can compare their feet and find the girl who stomped on his head a long time ago (which, of course, is actually Ranma). | |

Played with in, of all places, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where Zora princesses traditionally craft a set of armor for the one they wish to marry. The prejudiced and arrogant elder, Muzu, refuses to accept the help of a Hylian like Link, or believe that he could've been important to his long dead, beloved student Mipha, and withholds his help. He has to accept the truth, though, when it's revealed the Zora armor Mipha made is a precise fit for Link and was clearly made for him. | |

The main plot of Hensuki: Are You Willing to Fall in Love with a Pervert, as Long as She's a Cutie? is main character Keiki Kiryū trying to find which of his club's female members is the one that left an anonymous love letter in his locker... only that the "slipper" they left behind is actually a pair of panties. This, naturally, makes it a lot harder to find who did it - not helped by the fact that all the girls are hardcore perverts who are interested in him and want him to participate in their fetishes. | |

In the "Scarecrowella" episode of Magic Adventures of Mumfie, Bristle comes to Mumfie's house to give back a hat left at the ball, which they find out fits Scarecrow the best. Then Bristle says he has to marry The Queen of Night. Scarecrow likes this idea until he is told that he can't visit Mumfie and Pinkey, go on adventures, or scare crows. | |

Jim Henson's The Storyteller plays with this trope in the episode "Sapsorrow". First there's a ring handed down through the generations of the royal family; in order to choose a wife, the king must find a woman who fits the ring, and by the same token if the ring turns out to fit a woman, the king must marry her... even if she's his own daughter, demonstrating one of the problems with relying on the fit of a piece of jewelry to choose your wife for you. Later on, the eponymous princess leaves her slipper behind at a ball, Cinderella-style, and the prince makes the standard proclamation that he will marry the girl whose foot fits the slipper - which nearly backfires on him when Sapsorrow's fat, ugly, bad-tempered sister manages to cram her foot into it. An early Muppets special, Hey Cinderella!, has a subversion similar to the Disney version. Here, the prince accidentally steps on the glass slipper, making finding the wearer highly unlikely. The king, however, reasons that while there may be a maiden out there with a pair of glass slippers, the right maiden would be the one who has only one glass slipper. |

He does, and is revealed to be a bit of a pervert and only did so to determine that said girl had great control of her body to do so. They end up going out. | |

An... interesting variation occurred in the Rocko's Modern Life episode "Seat to Stardom": When Rocko accidentally mooned a newspaper camera during a movie premiere, a fashion designer saw the picture, and decided the owner of the posterior would make a perfect underwear model. To find the potential model, all of the men in O-Town took turns sitting in an imprint made of Rocko's bottom in the cement that night. | |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Several episodes had Bulk and Skull trying to learn the identities of the Power Rangers. In one episode, Bulk took inspiration from "Cinderella" and decided to make imprints of the Rangers' boots. An opportunity presented itself when Lord Zedd's Monster of the Week in that episode had the Rangers battle illusions of past monsters at the beach. At the end of the episode, Bulk and Skull went to Ernie's juice bar with a cement block with imprints of all five Rangers' boots. One of the rangers turned the music on so the musicians would make Bulk drop the block. While he managed to keep holding the block despite the dancers, he was caught unprepared for Skull's congratulatory tap on the back. | |

Phelous plays with this in a video about some Disney Princess knockoff dolls: He has the Cinderella look-alike boast that the glass slipper fits, proving herself as "she who arrived in a pumpkin". However, the slipper (which isn't even made of glass, but instead blue plastic) actually looks too big for the doll, and falls off. | |

In one episode of DuckTales (1987), Scrooge had a dream in which he was 'Scroogerello', and was competing against his evil step-siblings the Beagle Boys for the heart of Princess Goldie. At the end of the ball Scrooge ended up leaving behind his gold top hat, which Goldie tried to use to find him. Though in this case there were numerous people who would be able to wear the hat... if it wasn't for the fact that it violently assaulted anyone who tried to put it on other than Scrooge, regardless of hat size. | |

This is subverted in Cinderella (1947). The prince's palace guard goes out, like in all versions of this story, looking for the match. But with Cinderella's (actually in this version, "Zolushka's") help, Anna the older sister manages to cram her foot into it. Eventually Anna is exposed as an impostor when she stumbles at court and the shoe pops off. Zolushka never does put the shoe on. She eventually proves who she is by producing the matching shoe. | |

Averted in Yes! Pretty Cure 5, after the main characters come back from Cinderella's world, Milk (a bunny fairy mascot) jumps with her whole body in the shoe, preventing that Nozomi, who was Cinderella in that world, could try to wear the glass shoe, despite it's actually Nozomi's. Of course, Nozomi who wants to marry her prince (Coco) isn't amused. Despite that the main characters know the story, Nozomi, being a Cute Clumsy Girl, really lost her shoe by tripping downstairs. | |

Roald Dahl's take on Cinderella in Revolting Rhymes has one of the stepsisters switch the slipper with one of her own. When it fits, the prince responds by chopping her head off. And then does the same to the other stepsister before she can even try. Cindy is naturally horrified, and decides she wants nothing to do with this psychopath. | |

In Milo Murphy's Law, the school dance that Amanda organized has problem after problem, largely due to Milo's presence. When the electricity goes out he quickly fixes the decorations before going to the circuit breaker (naturally, he was carrying night-vision goggles). In the process he loses a shoe. When Amanda sees everything fixed she finds the shoe and, wanting to thank "her hero," goes looking for whomever is missing one. | |

The shoe doesn't fit when she tries it on, since her lack of experience with wearing heels caused swelling. Meanwhile, it fits Kashiwagi just fine so she ends up with the prince instead. | |

In Rocket Power After sneaking into the skate park to see the new ramp, Twister accidentally slips in the wet cement, leaving an imprint of his head and hand. Determined to find the culprit, the owner overhears Sam sarcastically suggesting they do what Cinderella did and find out whose head matches the shape in the cement. He then lines up the skaters and lets those who don't fit cement imprint into the park. Its subverted in that Otto ends up fitting the imprint instead, and Twister is forced to confess so Otto doesn't get wrongfully banned from Mad World. | |

Witches Abroad utterly dismantles this trope. Lilith is trying to invoke the trope for the Cinderella story she's masterminding, and Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax point out that a lot of feet can fit a shoe that size with enough socks... and even if you don't have socks, there must be a lot of people with that shoe size in the city. The only way to use it as a test is if you know who dropped it in the first place.... Nanny Ogg is one of the women the shoe fits. And she actually pretends to consider marrying the Duc, even though she knows he's a frog. |

In the retelling of film above in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Aqua is present during the scene where the Grand Duke brings the slipper to the Tremaines' home and actually buys time for Cinerella to arrive by asking the Duke if she can try on the slipper since she is a young woman roughly of the same age as the girl that attended the ball. After that it plays out much the same as the original movie plot... except for the obligatory Boss Battle afterward. | |

Gil points out the obvious problems with this leading Tarvek to propose increasingly detailed filters (unmarried, age, hair color etc.) to narrow it down culminating with him pulling out a portrait of her. As Gil then points out if they have a portrait they don't actually need the shoe. | |

In M*A*S*H, BJ is accused by a general of throwing a party in the hotel he was staying at, which leads to the general being caught in an embarrassing situation; but BJ insists he was back at camp at the time, and that the real culprit was likely a friend of his who is a notorious practical joker. The general's main piece of evidence is a hat left in the hotel room, and has BJ put it on. It is obviously not BJ's hat. | |

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney has a plot point that works on a similar principle to this trope. Gramarye family members have the special ability to pick up subtle tells from their surroundings. Normally, they wouldn't realize, but with the help of a special bracelet that tightens up when body temperature increases, this ability becomes significantly more useful. Upon realizing this, Phoenix puts two and two together and realizes Lamiroir and Apollo Justice are part of the Gramarye family, as they both have one of those bracelets, and Apollo has used his ability to perceive tells in court. | |

Book 4 of The Faerie Queene: The winner of the Beauty Contest will be the one who can wear the (supposedly) dead Florimell's golden girdle, as it can only be worn by a virgin, and virginity is beautiful. At least, those were the rules, but when the belt fits none of the girls except Amoret, the judges stubbornly award it to who they think is the most attractive girl anyway (who is actually a clone of the real Florimell), chaste or not, despite the protests of Amoret's Knight in Shining Armor, who is actually a Sweet Polly Oliver. Yes, it's an interesting story. | |

In Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, Prince Charming himself acknowledges the flimsiness of a shoe size as proof of one's identity, but also points out it's the only means he has to find Cinderella. His and the king's doubts about this plan become confirmed when Lady Tremaine uses a stolen magic wand to make the glass slipper fit stepsister Anastasia instead. Even further, when Anastasia meets the Prince, he immediately figures out she wasn't the girl he danced with. | |

This trope is played in Smile Pretty Cure!, where the Cinderella scenario happens again, but the villains try to ruin the story because their goal is creating bad ends. Miyuki being Genre Savvy takes off her shoe and puts it on the stairs instead of losing the shoe. But the villains being clever steal the original shoe and they make an extra large glass shoe for Akaoni. His shoe fits, but it immediately breaks. Candy takes the original back and the shoe flies on Miyuki's foot who just tripped. | |

In the Doctor Who episode "The Beast Below", Liz 10 (Elizabeth X, queen of a future Britain) has a royal mask moulded to the exact shape of her face. This leads to the discovery that she has been ruling for centuries, not for ten years as she believed - her memories are erased every ten years to keep her from remembering the Star Whale. | |

In Once Upon A Crime (2023), the glass slippers that Tekla produces can only be worn by the recipient. As usual, Cinderella leaves one behind at the ball and the prince comes by the next morning for her to try it on. Subverted in that he had her try on a *different* glass slipper, one that was connected to the scene of the murder and thus proof that Cinderella was the murderer. | |

Pretty Cure: Averted in Yes! Pretty Cure 5, after the main characters come back from Cinderella's world, Milk (a bunny fairy mascot) jumps with her whole body in the shoe, preventing that Nozomi, who was Cinderella in that world, could try to wear the glass shoe, despite it's actually Nozomi's. Of course, Nozomi who wants to marry her prince (Coco) isn't amused. Despite that the main characters know the story, Nozomi, being a Cute Clumsy Girl, really lost her shoe by tripping downstairs. This trope is played in Smile Pretty Cure!, where the Cinderella scenario happens again, but the villains try to ruin the story because their goal is creating bad ends. Miyuki being Genre Savvy takes off her shoe and puts it on the stairs instead of losing the shoe. But the villains being clever steal the original shoe and they make an extra large glass shoe for Akaoni. His shoe fits, but it immediately breaks.

Subverted in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The boots of one of the assassins are found, but in the locker of the alien crewman Dax (no relation), who has webbed feet, and the boots are for humans. They were obviously planted to avoid this trope. Chekov even mentions the aphorism from the "old Russian fairy tale" — "If shoe fits, wear it.". He notably fails to look down to make sure that the boots might indeed fit the person he's accusing. | |

In Season 9, Episode 4 of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, a young Vanessa is trying to tell Newt the story of Cinderella, and he keeps interrupting with annoying Fridge Logic. When she says that one stepsister's feet were too small, and the other's were too large, he comments that Cinderella was identified by having "the most average-sized feet in the kingdom." | |

The Electric Company spoofed the original scene in a sketch about suffixes; Cinderella's stepsister claims that she has a small foot, while the Wicked Stepmother boasts that she has a smaller one, and Cinderella declares her foot as the smallest. After the prince's page finds the slipper to fit Cinderella, they hand her a traffic ticket, with the prince explaining, "Your pumpkin is illegally parked outside the palace." | |
